SName: Citrus ssp
Comment:
Good intake characteristics, but when removed from diet can lead to feed rejection. Limonin in seeds (lemon and grapefruit) is toxic to young animals and can make the feed unpalatable to older stock. Poorly stored fresh material can mould easily.

Yeast is a probiotic that modifies the rumen flora. The actions of probiotics are not understood in sufficient detail to attach nutritive values to this type of feed additive. The effects on animal performance are variable and the benefits do not always outweigh the costs.
