EP100
Fermented rapeseed – Fermented and dried complementary feed for pigs, ruminants and poultry.
Nutraceuticals
Products and expertise to support the animals’ gut physiology, in collaboration with the farm veterinarian.
Nutrients with beneficial effects on health
Nutraceuticals are defined as nutrients contained in foods that have beneficial effects on health.
Fermented products (soya, rapeseed and seaweed) provide lactic acid and fermentation metabolites and contain fewer antinutritional factors than the starting raw materials.

How it is calculated
For each product: kg per tonne of feed = inclusion % × 10; supply = kg of product × content from the manufacturer’s technical data sheet (g or MJ per kg). The total supply is the sum of the products included.
