Wheat middlings appear on many feed tags—and they often trigger strong reactions. In this episode of The Scoop: Equine Nutrition Podcast, Annie Emery takes a thoughtful, science-based look at how wheat midds actually fit into horse diets.

Rather than focusing on ingredient fear or marketing claims, this episode explores how to evaluate wheat middlings in the context of the entire ration, how horses digest different types of ingredients, and why balance matters more than labels.

If you’ve ever questioned what wheat middlings really mean for your horse—or felt confused by conflicting advice—this episode offers clarity without hype.
