Description
What it is. Material obtained by freezing or drying whole plants or parts of plants. Nature and composition depend directly on the plant source and process used, which makes this category generic rather than a single defined product.
What it is for. This type of ingredient would generally be used to bring plant-based dry matter into feed formulas, as a vegetable fraction or filler depending on the original plant material. Use would be considered according to the actual plant origin, its fibre and nutrient profile, and the target species and production stage. Inclusion levels would be adapted case by case after characterisation of the specific batch.
Points to watch. Crude fibre must be declared, since composition varies with the plant species, plant part and process applied. Given this variability, each batch should be checked for consistent composition and absence of contaminants before use; no maximum inclusion level is specified here.
