ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel animal foodstuff and process for preparing the same is provided herein. The feedstuff comprises (a) from 25 to 95% by weight dry- matter of at least one comminuted, solid, structured fibrous, agricultural by-product, having a low nutritional value and a length in the range be- tween 10 and 160 mm to provide structure, selected from the group consist- ing of cereal straw, leguminous straw, maize columellae, maize-husk-spacix grist, feedstuff cereal mixture, flax plant chaff, flax plant capsules, fibrous fruit peel, fibrous fruit skin and malt sprouts; and (b) from 75 to 5% by weight dry matter of at least one digestible, non-structured, in- dustrial by-product or residue with nutrient value, selected from the group consisting of whey, protein-enriched residues from milk treatment processes, molasses residues, vinasse, .alpha.-celluloses, starch, brewer's yeast, brewer's grains, brewing residues, distillery residues, fermentation residues, dregs, kieselguhr residues and chitin. The process involves first inten- sively mixing the ingredients (a) and (b); then partially drying the mix- ture so obtained and then processing the mixture into a compressed product. The drying and processing is such that feedstuff has a moisture content of 8 - 14% by weight, and the structured ingredient (a) retains its structured integrity. This provides chewability and bite to the animal feedstuff. Accordingly, certain environmental problems are alleviated, capacity and load problems of certain processing plants are alleviated, and fodder pro- blems with respect to ration balancing are solved.
