Limits to Usage

The starch can be highly undegradeable. Protein levels can vary from source to source. Needs a good source of supplementary minerals when used at maximum levels for ruminant diets (30% +). If the product is black, it may have been overheated or burnt in processing and should be avoided. Approximately 15% of the starch is rumen fermented.

Storage / Processing

Store in cool dry conditions.

Material to have been stored in compliance with DEFRA code of practice for the control of salmonella.

Disclaimer

Feeding rates are estimates, and other factors, such as animal health and environment, can have a greater impact on how animals perform. There is no guarantee that animals will perform as expected if fed the suggested rates. Rations should be balanced to provide enough energy and protein for animals, and they should include enough forage to keep the rumen healthy. Animals also need access to fresh water at all times.
