Abstract
The key features and legislative restrictions of the use of food processing co-products as animal feed are outlined. The commercial importance relies on the fact that the feed and livestock industries are able to utilise all the fractions not marketed directly as human food. Even as factory processes have changed and the nutritive value of the feed fractions has also changed, the feed market continues to provide an environmentally sensible outlet – so long as the new materials are acceptable to both the farmer and his livestock. Future processing developments may involve higher value fractions, but they will commonly leave substantial residues. The feed market will be challenged to utilise these to maximum benefit, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the nutritive value of materials that are often rich in lignocellulosic structures.
