German term or phrase: Bruchkorn

Unser Mähdrescher TX 68 verursacht beim Roggen- und Weizendrusch einen Bruchkornanteil von über 10%. This appears in a written report by a farmer about his combine harvester. He complains that the 'Bruchkornanteil' must be below 10% to keep his customers happy. This is part of his contract. I realise that 'Bruchkorn' must be damaged grain but is there a proper term for it?
