Citrus pellets are an animal feed produced from byproducts of citrus processing.[1]
Use
[edit]Used for feedstuff, especially for dairy cattle, fattened beef cattle and sheep.
Processing
[edit]They are produced from the peel, pulp and seeds of several species of citrus, dried, and processed with a binder (e.g., 1-3% of molasses, fat or colloidal clays), and extruded into pellets (typically 6 mm diameter; 2.5 cm max length).[2]
