Flaxseed Screenings Meal - Feed Ingredient

Flaxseed screenings meal is a byproduct of flaxseed processing, consisting of small, broken, or undersized flaxseeds, along with other residual plant materials separated during cleaning and milling. These screenings are ground into a fine meal, which retains a portion of flaxseed’s nutritional components, including fiber, protein, and residual oil. However, the nutrient composition can vary depending on the proportion of screenings used and the degree of oil extraction.

In equine nutrition, flaxseed screenings meal serves as a source of dietary fiber and residual fat. Its nutrient levels are generally lower than those of conventional flaxseed meals, so it is primarily used as an excipient ingredient in feed formulations rather than as a primary nutritional component.
