There is disclosed a continuous process for refining whole grain wheat to obtain a prime wheat starch fraction and an animal feed product, the process comprising dry milling wheat kernels to provide an endosperm fraction, a germ fraction, a fiber (bran) fraction and a cleanings fraction, wet milling the endosperm fraction to provide a mill starch slurry, removing fine fiber tailings from the mill starch slurry, separating the slurry into a starch-rich fraction and protein-rich fraction, concentrating the protein-rich fraction, directly combining the fiber (bran), cleanings, fine fiber tailings and protein-rich concentrate, and the germ fraction to provide a wet animal feed product, and drying the feed product.
