Description
What it is. Semi-synthetic disaccharide (4-O-D-galactopyranosyl-D-fructose) manufactured from lactose by isomerisation of glucose into fructose. It is also present in milk and milk products that have undergone heat treatment.
What it is for. Lactulose is generally used as a feed material providing a fermentable carbohydrate fraction in compound feed formulations. It would typically be considered for young animals, where it may support gut fermentation processes. Inclusion level and target species should be defined according to formulation objectives.
Points to watch. No maximum inclusion level is specified in the source description. As a fermentable sugar, excessive intake may affect digestive tolerance; batch composition should be checked against declared constituents and storage conditions controlled to limit moisture uptake.
