Apple Pomace Residue For Animal Feed

Apple Pomace Residue For Animal Feed

1. Apple Pomace Specification

Chemical Name: Apple Pomace 

Appearance: Yellow and Brown flakes 

H.S.CODE: 230800

Apple pomace, when used as a feed additive for poultry, can have several positive effects. Its natural sugars and fruity aroma improve feed palatability, encouraging birds to consume more, which is particularly beneficial during periods of low appetite. The fiber content supports gut health by promoting better digestion and nutrient absorption, potentially leading to improved growth rates and overall productivity.

However, moderation is key. Excessive amounts of apple pomace can dilute the energy density of the feed due to its high fiber content, potentially affecting weight gain. When included at appropriate levels (typically 5-10% of the diet), it serves as a cost-effective and sustainable supplement, contributing to both the health of the birds and the efficiency of poultry farming operations.

Feed Additives Apple Pomace Usage:

For poultry, the inclusion rate of apple pomace in feed is generally recommended at 5% to 10% of the total diet. This range ensures that birds benefit from its natural sugars and fiber without compromising feed efficiency. Higher amounts may reduce the energy density of the feed, potentially impacting growth performance. It’s important to introduce apple pomace gradually and monitor the birds' response to ensure optimal health and productivity.

For pigs, apple pomace can be included at 10% to 15% of the diet. Its fiber content supports gut health, while the natural sugars enhance palatability. However, excessive use should be avoided to prevent nutrient dilution. In ruminants like cattle and sheep, higher inclusion rates of 15% to 20% are suitable due to their ability to efficiently digest fibrous materials. Apple pomace not only provides energy but also contributes to rumen health, making it a valuable addition to their feed. Always adjust based on the specific nutritional needs and health status of the animals.
