Collective terms refer to a general classification of ingredients of common origin, and that have a similar function, but does not imply equivalent nutritional values. Collective terms provide flexibility in feed formulation by allowing feed manufacturers in different geographical areas to use the same feed labels and take advantage of ingredient price fluctuations. This ultimately assures the producer of feed products at least cost.
