Description
What it is. Peanuts are the seeds of Arachis hypogaea and other Arachis species. They belong to the oilseeds and oilseed fruits category used as a feed material.
What it is for. This material would generally be used as a source of protein and energy in compound feed formulation, owing to the characteristic composition of oilseed fruits. Choice of inclusion level and species targeted would generally depend on the fat and protein profile of the batch supplied, as well as on the processing applied (whole, crushed or defatted). As with other oilseeds, use would generally be considered at the formulation stage rather than for direct feeding.
Points to watch. No maximum inclusion level or specific declared constituent is set in the available sources; any numerical level should not be asserted without further reference. Oilseed batches of this type are subject to variability in fat and protein content and can be prone to mould development and aflatoxin contamination, requiring attention to origin, drying and storage conditions.
