Malt

Feed material Cereals Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. Malt is a feed material obtained from the germination, drying, milling and/or extraction of cereal grains. Its composition reflects the cereal of origin and the degree of processing applied.

What it is for. Malt is generally used as an energy source and palatability enhancer in feed, contributing readily available carbohydrates from the germination and drying process. It would generally be used in compound feeds for various species, particularly where palatability or digestibility of starch is sought. Inclusion level and species targeting depend on the specific malt type and the formulator's objectives.

Points to watch. The official description sets no maximum inclusion rate or antinutritional threshold; composition varies with the parent cereal and processing method. No required declared constituents are listed; quality should be assessed on a batch basis and storage should limit moisture uptake and mould development.
