Description
What it is. Lentils are the seeds of Lens culinaris a.o. Medik., belonging to the legume seed category. They are a raw material of plant origin, harvested and used as such or after simple processing.
What it is for. Lentils are generally used as a source of energy and protein in diets for farm animals. They would typically be included in compound feed formulations alongside other protein and energy raw materials, for various species and production stages. Actual inclusion levels depend on the nutritional matrix retained by the formulator.
Points to watch. No maximum inclusion rate or analytical constituent values are specified in the available sources; variability between batches and origins should be checked via supplier analysis. As with other legume seeds, the presence of antinutritional factors cannot be ruled out and should be assessed case by case.
