Prior to drying and storing, in the wheat seed processing technology, significant quantities of wheat by-products are separated. In this research chemical composition, microbiological safety and content of mycotoxins in wheat broken kernels separated in the processing of wheat seed is investigated with the aim to find out if this raw material can be used as animal feed. Complete mixes for animal feeding, as well as, feed meals have to be hygienically safe and meet the regulations for the quality of animal feed. Wheat broken kernels are characterized by a high starch content (cca 60%) and microbiology proved to be a safe raw material concerning its hygiene. In all tested samples aflatoxin content was <0.001 mg/kg. These data point, that wheat broken kernels, as a by-product in wheat seed processing technology, are convenient raw material for animal feed preparation.
