What it is for. This type of by-product is generally used as a source of energy and protein in diets for farm animals. It would typically be incorporated in feed formulations as a partial substitute for other cereal by-products, subject to its nutritional characterisation by the buyer. Use should be adapted to species and production stage based on actual nutrient analysis.
