Concentrates

• Concentrates are livestock feeds that provide the basic nutrients required for animal production, including energy, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and other micro-nutrients.
• Concentrates are feeds that contain a high density of nutrients, usually low in crude fiber content (less than 18% of dry matter (DM)) and high in total digestible nutrients of more than 60%.
• Concentrates may be high in energy, referred to as energy concentrates, such as cereals and milling by-products, or high in protein, with over 20% crude protein, referred to as protein concentrates.
• Concentrates can be fed in raw or milled forms.
