protein, 0.8 percent calcium and 0.5 percent phosphorus. It has no Vitamin A, so additional forage or supplementation is required to provide complete nutrition. 8. Buckwheat hulls Buckwheat hulls are the hard outer shells that house the seeds of buckwheat grain.The hulls are strong, aromatic and do not retain or reflect heat, making them an ideal allergy-free alternative to feather or synthetic fiber fills for pillows and upholstery. Nutritional Value Buckwheat is composed of 75% "complex" carbohydrates. You've undoubtedly heard the recommendation that we should eat fewer "empty calorie" sugar carbohydrates and eat more "complex" starches. Recent dietary goals for the United States specifically call for increasing carbohydrate consumption to 55-60% of our total calorie intake. Only 8-9% of these carbohydrate calories should come from sugar or "simple" carbohydrates. That leaves considerable space for complex carbohydrates like buckwheat that satisfy our appetites and fuel our cells. 9. Peanut hulls Peanut hulls are the by-product of the peanut shelling process. Extremely bulky and difficult to handle. Availability depends upon proximity to shelling plant. Uses in hay-replacer diets and as an extender in stocker concentrate diets Nutritional Value: Are high in tannin (18%) that will negatively impact protein digestibility and may affect palatability, and they are high in fat (22%) that contributes to their energy content but limits
