Waste Biscuits For Cattle Feed, Animal Type : Buffalo, Form : Powder

Broken waste biscuits are an excellent, cost-effective ingredient for cattle feed, providing high energy and palatability. These biscuits are collected from biscuit manufacturing units where they are rejected due to breakage, over-baking, or shape defects, but they remain safe and nutritious for livestock consumption. Instead of being discarded, these by-products are repurposed into feed, reducing food waste and cutting feed costs for farmers.

Nutritional Benefits

• High Energy Source: Biscuits contain wheat flour, sugar, vegetable fats, and milk solids, making them a rich source of carbohydrates and fats. This provides quick energy for dairy cattle, cattle, and other ruminants.

• Enhanced Palatability: The sweet flavour and aroma encourage feed intake, especially in fussy or underfed animals.

• Supplementary Protein: Though primarily an energy source, biscuits also provide small amounts of plant-based protein from flour and other ingredients.

• Fibre & Digestibility: Biscuit crumbs are easy to digest, which reduces digestive stress and supports weight gain.

Usage in Feed Formulation

• Typically included at 5–15% of the total cattle feed mix.

• Works well when blended with protein-rich ingredients like soybean meal, cottonseed cake, or maize DDGS.

• Can be ground into a fine powder or fed as small pieces mixed with other dry ingredients.

Storage & Handling

• Must be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent mould and rancidity.

• Keep away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight.

• Should be fed as part of a balanced ration, not as the sole feed.

Advantages for Farmers

• Reduces feeding cost compared to conventional energy sources.

• Utilises industrial food waste sustainably.

• Improves animal condition and milk yield when used correctly.
