Description
What it is. The pistachio is the fruit of Pistacia vera L., listed among other seeds and fruits in the feed materials catalogue. No further processing or compositional detail is specified in the official description.
What it is for. This type of fruit is generally used as a minor feed material, mainly as a source of energy and fat, and possibly for palatability. Its use is generally considered occasional rather than systematic in compound feed formulation, and it is not typically a core ingredient for a specific species or production stage.
Points to watch. No maximum inclusion level or declared constituent is listed in the catalogue entry. As with other nuts and seeds, attention should be paid to batch variability, possible contamination (e.g. mycotoxins) and storage conditions; no quantitative data is available here.
