fôrråvarer
Fôrråvarer (feed ingredients) are the raw materials used to produce animal feeds. They include crop products, by-products from agriculture and food processing, and other plant-based materials chosen to provide energy, protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins in formulated diets for livestock, poultry, and other farm animals.
Fôrråvarer are commonly categorized as forages and concentrates. Forages include silage, hay, straw, and grazing materials.
Quality characteristics influence feed value: energy content, crude protein, fiber (NDF/ADF), digestibility, palatability, and mineral composition.
Preservation and processing include drying, ensiling, grinding, crimping, or pelleting to improve storage, handling, and mixing.
Regulations and quality systems govern labeling, traceability, and safety. Markets for fôrråvarer are global, with seasonal
