Abstract

Veal formulas are produced utilizing by-products of the dairy processing and animal slaughtering industry and various micro-ingredients such as minerals, vitamins and antibiotics. This article will attempt to list all ingredients currently used by veal feed manufacturers in the United States and also elucidate what these ingredients actually are and why they are used. The initial paragraph for each ingredient will be the official definition per AAFCO. The remaining test will elaborate on what these products are and why they are used. Please keep in mind that various feed manufacturers practice discretion on the types and qualities of each of these ingredients that are used in their specific productions.
