Common adulterations in feed and fodders

Adulteration is defined as the admixture of a pure substance with some cheaper and low quality substance.

  • It is done intentionally usually to make money.
  • In costly feed ingredients like oil seed cakes and feeds of animal origin like fish meal, adulteration is done by spraying urea in order to raise their protein content.
  • However, sometimes brans, molasses are also added.
  • Besides urea, oilseed cakes are adulterated with husk, non-edible oilseed cakes.
