Claims
- 1. An additive for stock feeds consisting essentially of decomposition products of chicory roots selected from products obtained by heating and drying chopped chicory roots; products obtained by first chopping and grinding chicory roots into fine pieces, preparing a slurry of the pieces, and enzymatically decomposing the slurry; and products obtained by first chopping the chicory roots into fine pieces, heating and drying the fine pieces, adding water thereto to form a slurry, and enzymatically decomposing the slurry, in which the total content of inulooligosaccharides of tri- and higher saccharides and polysaccharides obtained by decomposing said chicory roots is 40% by weight or more of the total solids content and is 80% by weight or more of the total saccharides, wherein said stock food contains 0.1 to 10% by weight of said additive.
- 2. A composition consisting essentially of an additive which comprises decomposition products of chicory roots selected from product obtained by heating and drying chopped chicory roots; products obtained by first chopping and grinding chicory roots into fine pieces, preparing a slurry of the pieces, and enzymatically decomposing the slurry; and products obtained by first chopping the chicory roots into fine pieces, heating and drying the fine pieces, adding water therein to form a slurry, and enzymatically decomposing the slurry, in which the total content of inulooligosaccharides of tri- and higher saccharides and polysaccharides obtained by decomposing said chicory roots is 40% by weight or more of the total solids content and is 80% by weight or more of the total saccharides, wherein said composition is a stock feed and wherein said composition contains 0.1% to 10% by weight of said additive.
- 3. A composition according to claim 2, wherein the additive is prepared by enzymatically decomposing a slurry of chopped and ground chicory roots without extracting inulin.
- 4. A composition according to claim 3, wherein the additive is prepared by enzymatically decomposing a slurry of chicory flakes obtained by chopping and then heating and/or drying chicory roots without extracting inulin.
- 5. An additive for stock feeds, wherein said additive is prepared by enzymatically decomposing a slurry of chopped and ground chicory roots without extracting inulin.
- 6. An additive for stock feeds which is prepared by mixing chicory flakes obtained by chopping and then heating and/or drying chicory roots with the additive for stock feeds of claim 5.
- 7. An additive for stock feeds, wherein said additive is prepared by enzymatically decomposing a slurry of chicory flakes obtained by chopping and then heating and/or drying chicory roots without extracting inulin.
- 8. An additive for stock feeds which is prepared by mixing chicory flakes obtained by chopping and then heating and/or drying chicory roots with the additive for stock feeds of claim 7.
