Feedstuff glossary
In this glossary, you will find key concentrated feeds, as well as a few basic feeds, each accompanied by a photo and a brief explanation of their production and/or nutritional content.
Basic feed refers to plant-based feedstuffs that serve to meet the daily basic requirements for energy and nutrients. It is characterised above all by a high crude fibre content and a fibrous structure, which is essential for digestion.
Concentrate feed is a nutrient-dense animal feed that is high in energy or protein but low in crude fibre.
The classification of feed into energy or protein feed is based on feed analyses, which provide the content values of various ingredients. The two most important indicators of feed quality are crude protein (CP in g per kg) and metabolisable energy (ME in megajoules). All animals require protein and energy for their maintenance and for the production of milk or meat.
