Malt Extract Syrup - Feed Ingredient

Malt extract syrup is a viscous, sweet substance produced from the enzymatic breakdown of malted barley or other cereal grains. During processing, starches in the grains are converted into sugars—primarily maltose—resulting in a thick syrup rich in carbohydrates, with small amounts of proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

In equine nutrition, malt extract syrup may be used as a natural sweetener or flavor enhancer in feeds and supplements. It improves palatability and may contribute to energy intake through its sugar content.
