Part IINon-exclusive list of the main feed materials

Introductory Notes

Feed materials are listed and named in this Part according to the following criteria:

  • the origin of the product/by-product used, for example vegetable, animal, mineral;

  • the part of the product/by-product used, for example whole, seeds, tubers, bones;

  • the processing to which the product/by-product has been subjected, for example decortication, extraction, heating and/or the resulting product/by-product, for example flakes, bran, pulp, fat;

  • the maturity of the product/by-product and/or the quality of the product/by-product, for example ‘low in glucosinolate’, ‘rich in fat’, ‘low in sugar’.
