Malt Residuals are a co-product from the malting industry. After screening, larger grains of malting barley are encouraged to sprout in order to convert the starch in the grain into sugars. The process is stopped and the sprouts or rootlets (malt culms) removed and dried. Malt Residuals are formed from a pelleted combination of the malt culms and barley screenings

Malt Residuals are a FEMAS assured (or a recognised equivalent), fully traceable, product. Malt Residuals (malt rootlets) are listed under number 1.1.19 in the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials.
