Täydennysrehut

Täydennysrehut, known in English as complementary feeds or supplements, are animal feed products designed to provide additional nutrients that are not adequately supplied by the main diet. These products are used to balance the overall nutritional intake of livestock, poultry, and other animals, ensuring their health, growth, and productivity. Täydennysrehut can come in various forms, including premixes, concentrates, and specialized feed additives.

The primary purpose of täydennysrehut is to address specific nutritional deficiencies or to enhance the animal's performance. For instance, they may be formulated to provide extra vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or energy sources. These supplements are particularly important during certain life stages, such as growth phases, gestation, lactation, or periods of increased stress. They can also be used to improve feed conversion efficiency, immune function, or reproductive performance.

The composition and use of täydennysrehut are typically determined by the animal's species, age, physiological state, and the nutritional profile of the basal feed. Expert knowledge in animal nutrition is crucial for selecting and administering the correct täydennysrehut to avoid over-supplementation, which can also be detrimental to animal health. Regulatory bodies often oversee the production and labeling of these feeds to ensure safety and efficacy.
