Animal feedstuffs in pressed form compressed at a pressure less than 700 atmospheres to a bulk density of about 0.3 to about 1.3 g/ml and having a water content from about 8% to about 14% by weight are provided which are based on at least one comminuted, solid, structured, fibrous, agricultural by-product having a preponderance of its fibers of a minimum length of about 1 cm the agricultural by-product having a length of about 10 to about 160 mm, together with at least one digestible, non-structured industrial, non-textured by-product and/or residue with nutrient value. The structured agricultural product in the feedstuff in the pressure form still retains its structured integrity thereby to provide chewability and bite to the feedstuff. The feedstuff preferably is in the form of pellets having a size defined as follows: the diameter of the pellets is between about 14 mm and about 32 mm, the length of the pellets is between about 15 and about 50 mm; and the density of the pellets is between about 0.9 and about 1.3. |
