Use
Inclusion limit
No sourced maximum for the pulp itself. Fermented sago hampas replaced 100% of onggok (16% of a complete feed) in vitro without affecting digestibility [E-S18]. Sago MEAL (starch flour, not pulp) has been included up to 50% in pig and 25% in poultry diets [E-S15].
Very low protein (1.14% DM in E-S18; 2.7% DM in E-S15) and high fibre (NDF 66.6% DM) [E-S18]; ash can be high (21% DM in the single E-S15 sample) [E-S15].
