Locust Beans 20kg

Locust Beans are a premium, natural feed ingredient made from the dried pods of the Ceratonia siliqua (Carob) tree. These beans are gently processed to preserve their natural nutrients, making them a rich source of digestible carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals. Known for their pleasant, sweet aroma and taste, Locust Beans are an excellent way to enhance feed palatability while providing a safe, energy-dense supplement for a variety of animals.

These beans are safe and beneficial for a wide range of species, including cattle, goats, and sheep, where they promote rumen health and improve feed efficiency. Horses, donkeys, and ponies also benefit from their gentle, non-cereal energy source, especially those with sensitive digestive systems. Poultry such as chickens and ducks can enjoy Locust Beans in small quantities to enhance feed flavour and energy intake, while pigs appreciate their natural sweetness and added energy content. They can also be included in the diets of pet birds, rabbits and guinea pigs in controlled amounts as a natural source of fiber and taste enhancement.

Locust Beans are naturally high in carbohydrates, providing around 45–50% energy-rich sugars, along with approximately 5–8% protein and 8–10% fiber. They contain valuable minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which support bone strength and metabolic function. Low in fat and free from artificial additives, they offer a clean, wholesome feed option suitable for many livestock and companion animals.

For best results, Locust Beans should be introduced gradually and included at 2–10% of the total feed ration, depending on species and nutritional needs. They should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness. Each 20kg bag provides a convenient and cost-effective way to improve the nutritional balance and palatability of animal feeds naturally.
