Description
What it is. Whole fruit or pieces of hazelnut (Corylus spp.), with or without shell. It is a feed material listed in the catalogue of feed materials under the "other seeds and fruits" chapter.
What it is for. This type of oilseed fruit is generally used as a source of energy and lipids in feed formulation. It would generally be used in a crushed or broken form to facilitate incorporation and improve digestibility. Use remains occasional, linked to local or by-product availability rather than to a standard raw material.
Points to watch. No declared constituents or maximum inclusion levels are specified in the official description; any inclusion level should be set qualitatively according to the fat content and the presence or absence of shell. Compositional variability (shell ratio, oil content) and storage conditions (rancidity risk linked to lipid content) should be checked before use.
