Description
What it is. Peat is the product of the natural decomposition of plants, mainly sphagnum moss, under anaerobic and oligotrophic conditions. It is classified under feed materials, miscellaneous category, catalogue entry 13.10.1. Crude fibre is the constituent to be declared.
What it is for. This type of material would generally be used as a technological or structuring component in feed formulations, in limited inclusion rates. It could also be considered for its fibrous fraction contribution. Use is generally occasional and specific to certain formulation contexts rather than widespread.
Points to watch. No maximum inclusion level is set in the sources available; any rate must be defined by the formulator according to applicable regulation. Natural variability in origin and composition should be taken into account, as should appropriate storage conditions given its organic, moisture-sensitive nature.
