In this book, over 80 feeds are described precisely in both words and figures, so that each one may be considered on its merits as a potential ration ingredient.

A range of background information provides additional reassurance:

• how sugar beet fields are audited to ensure good farming practice
• how potatoes are chopped and cooked to improve both their nutritional value and safety
• how the extraction of sugar and starch from grain leaves feed materials that are richer sources of energy and protein

Guidance on feeding and storage is provided with cautionary notes for the farmer and pointers to the factory where improved practices can enhance feed quality.

Co-product Feeds describes the entire chain by which food-quality raw materials are selected and then processed, so that the feeds that become available as co-products of that processing can be purchased and used with confidence.
