Description
What it is. Product obtained from skimmed milk or buttermilk by drying casein precipitated using acids or rennet. It is a milk protein fraction classified as a dairy product.
What it is for. Casein is generally used as a high-quality protein source in feed formulation, valued for its amino acid profile. It would typically be used in diets for young animals, such as milk replacers or starter feeds, where digestibility and protein quality are important. It may also serve a technological role as a binder in some feed applications.
Points to watch. Crude protein content and moisture (if above 10%) must be declared. Variability between batches linked to the drying and precipitation process should be checked, and storage conditions should limit moisture uptake.
