ALMOND HULLS
AS PART OF A BALANCED RATION FOR YOUR LIVESTOCK
"ALMOND HULL
Did
you know that almond hulls are a
by-product of the almond processing industry. Almond hulls consist of the outer
covering of the almond, but do not include the hard shell. They are
competitively priced and can significantly reduce your overall forage costs.
Did
you know that the nutritive or energy
value of average hulls is about equivalent to early bloom
Did
you know that almond hulls can be fed
alone to balance rations. They can also be combined with a protein source and
can nutritionally replace expensive grain or hay. Almond hulls can be added to
silage, as a silage stretcher where they absorb moisture and reduce run off?
Did
you know that Dairy cattle love to
eat almond hulls, as well as being very digestible and palatable to livestock,
they are available all year round, are a cost effective feed in drought
situations and eliminate the need to tie your money up in the hay shed?
Did
you know that some 2 years ago, with
the introduction of a quality assurance system, a consistent, high quality
product now exists. This involved research, investment and regular feed testing
to analyse the hulls.
