Triticum aestivum
Also known as: Sawayyan
About Vermicelles
A traditional type of pasta for human consumption made from highly refined wheat flour (maida) without bran.
Nutritional value and use in livestock rations
Vermicelles is a concentrate feed and an energy source in the Pakistan Feed Library. On average vermicelles contains crude protein 12.2% of dry matter, metabolisable energy 3.3 Mcal/kg, TDN 90.3% of dry matter, NDF 6.7% of dry matter.
Energy concentrates such as cereal grains and by-products raise the energy density of a ration. They are fed together with forage for fibre and with protein sources and minerals to keep the ration balanced.
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.

- 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.
