Description
What it is. Jerusalem artichoke is the tuber of Helianthus tuberosus L., used in animal feed regardless of its presentation (fresh, dried, etc.). It is characterised by a high water content, whose value must be declared if it falls outside the usual range.
What it is for. This tuber is generally used as an energy source, mainly carbohydrate-based, in diets intended for various livestock species. It would be used as a partial substitute for other tubers or roots depending on local availability and the targeted formulation. Its use should be adapted to the product's presentation (fresh, dehydrated, ensiled).
Points to watch. Water content must be declared if below 75% or above 80%, reflecting notable variability depending on the product's presentation and preservation. This variability requires attention to storage conditions and to the consistency of delivered batches.
