Description
What it is. Wood corresponds to raw ligneous material or its fibres, not chemically treated. It falls under the other plants and algae category of the feed materials catalogue. Its characteristic composition is declared as crude fibre.
What it is for. This type of feed material is generally used as a source of structuring fibre in feed. It is generally employed for its technological or bulking role, particularly when a contribution of insoluble fibre is sought. Common use concerns formulations where energy dilution or a structuring effect is desired, without targeting a specific species or stage in the official description.
Points to watch. Only non chemically treated wood is authorised; any wood fibre resulting from chemical treatment is excluded from this denomination. Variability in crude fibre content depending on origin and production process justifies analytical verification upon receipt. Storage conditions must limit moisture uptake and cross contamination.
