What this collection covers

Citrus co-products are materials left from citrus processing and used here in a bulk-feed context. This collection includes Citrus Pulp and Citrus Pulp Pellets. The name alone does not define fruit mix, processing method, moisture level or nutrient profile, so buyers should compare the offered form and lot documentation.

Pulp and pellets: form matters

Citrus pulp can refer to material in different forms, including fresh or ensiled material and dried product. Citrus Pulp Pellets are a processed, dried form—not a separate citrus ingredient with a guaranteed formula. Pelleting makes dried pulp more compact and uniform to handle, while loose material and pellets may differ in storage and conveying behavior. Verify the actual form before comparing offers.

Compare the lot and the ration

These ingredients are used as energy feeds in ruminant diets, but no single inclusion rate or shared specification applies across the collection. Request a current analysis with moisture and dry-matter basis clearly stated, along with relevant nutrient and mineral results. Check pellet or particle characteristics, fines, delivery format and dry-storage needs against your receiving system. Formulation should account for the whole ration and animal requirements.

Common questions.

Are Citrus Pulp and Citrus Pulp Pellets nutritionally interchangeable?+

Not automatically. Pellets are a processed form, and composition can vary with citrus mix and processing. Compare analyses for the specific lots and forms.

What analysis should I request?+

Ask for current lot results, including moisture and dry matter, with the basis identified. Request nutrient and mineral data relevant to your ration and confirm the test date.

Is there a standard inclusion rate for citrus co-products?+

No universal rate is established for this collection. Suitability and inclusion depend on the specific product, animal, production stage and complete diet; use qualified ration-formulation advice.

What should I check for bulk handling?+

Confirm whether the material is wet, loose-dried or pelleted, then check its particle or pellet characteristics, fines, delivery format and dry-storage requirements against your equipment.
