Properties and Function:
The ingredient is characterized by the presence of natural fiber fractions and residual nutrients, such as plant proteins and phenolic compounds. In practice, this translates to its function supporting the proper functioning of the digestive system in animals.
Key Parameters:
- Protein: approx. 13%
- Crude Fiber: approx. 21%
- Moisture: < 13%
High fiber content improves intestinal peristalsis and affects the regulation of digestive processes. At the same time, a moderate protein level allows for its use as a supplementary nutritional component.
The presence of natural plant compounds, such as anthocyanins and polyphenols (characteristic of black currant), may constitute an additional functional value.
Applications:
Dried black currant pomace is used as:
- a feed component for cattle, pigs, and poultry,
- an additive increasing fiber content in feed mixtures,
- a supplementary ingredient in diets for animals requiring digestive support.
Due to its plant origin and processed form, it can be used in various livestock feeding systems.
