About Mamni (Wheat Screenings)
Byproduct of wheat threshing includes small, damaged wheat grains and weeds seeds.
Nutritional value and use in livestock rations
Mamni (Wheat Screenings) is a concentrate feed and a protein and energy source in the Pakistan Feed Library. On average mamni (wheat screenings) contains crude protein 12.8% of dry matter, metabolisable energy 2.9 Mcal/kg, TDN 79.8% of dry matter, NDF 22.4% of dry matter.
Feeds that supply both protein and energy are useful for balancing a ration without relying on a single ingredient. They are combined with forage and minerals, and the level is set according to the animals and their production stage.
Nutrient values vary with variety, growing conditions, processing and storage, so treat the averages as a guide. Send us your ration details if you would like advice on using it in a TMR.
TMR Pakistan supplies related feed ingredients in bulk for farms and feed mills. See the matching products or contact us for a quotation.

- Calculated from lab data
SD = standard deviation DM = dry matter. Nutrients other than dry matter are expressed on a dry-matter basis. TDN = total digestible nutrients; ME, NEm, NEg, NEl and DE = metabolisable, net (maintenance / gain / lactation) and digestible energy.
