Almond Hulls - Feed Ingredient

Almond hulls are the outer covering of the almond fruit, removed during processing to obtain the edible nut. These fibrous byproducts are produced in large quantities by the almond industry, particularly in regions like California where almond cultivation is prevalent. After separation from the shell and nut, the hulls are typically dried and may be ground or pelleted for use in animal feed.

In horse feeds, almond hulls are used as a fibrous energy source. They are relatively high in digestible fiber and low in non-structural carbohydrates, making them suitable for horses requiring controlled starch intake.

Almond hulls must be processed and screened to remove any residual shell material, which can be abrasive or indigestible. Their nutrient profile can vary depending on processing methods and almond variety.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Almond Hulls as an ingredient.
