French term

semoulette

French to English Other Livestock / Animal Husbandry
Les aliments composés fabriqués par les industriels de l'alimentation animale sont le plus souvent présentés sous forme de granulés ou de miettes pour les animaux jeunes et de petit format, plus rarement aujourd'hui sous forme de farine ; les aliments minéraux peuvent se trouver en farine, en semoulette ou en granulés.

Anyone have a good English term for 'semoulette', please?

Thanks in advance for any help...

Rachel Fell Oct 3, 2013:
Hello, what sort of animals is it for?
Andrea Burde (X) Oct 2, 2013:
Sorry, I meant "middling"
Andrea Burde (X) Oct 2, 2013:
Semoulette seems cognate with semolina, which is, according to Wiki, a midlling meal, made from durum wheat, but it can also be from other types of wheat or from other grains. It has a coarser structure that a flour.
I also found this:http://www.linguee.com/french-english/translation/semoulette...
and this:http://www.agrileader.fr/gamme-ovin/996-0745900-agri-brebis-...
Might it be translated into: granule or pellet? From what I see it appears to be a mineral supplement in the case of this advertisement.
Did this help?

As far as I understand, it's a type of meal, but a slightly more specific term...

fine granular feed

I think that the specific English term would also cover how refined the product was, so perhaps this more generic term works best.

See: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/dairy/facts/08...

www.dakotaethanol.com/distiller.html
DDGS are a flaky, granular feed with a particle usually less than 1/16 of an inch in size, ... DDGS feed is utilized in cattle, hog, poultry and even pet food diets.


There may be differences in specific terminology between GB US CAN AUS etc.

From the FR ref already posted and showing that the term describes the form, not the content (i.e. not specifically wheat):
"Les fabricants d’aliments minéraux constituent à eux seuls plusieurs métiers différents suivant qu’ils
commercialisent directement auprès des éleveurs ou bien à des distributeurs. On distingue deux grandes
catégories d’espèces pour la destination des aliments minéraux : les ruminants et chevaux (environ 80 %
des volumes) pour lesquels ils constituent l’un des éléments essentiels d’une ration composite associant
fourrages, matières premières et aliments complémentaires et les monogastriques (notamment porcs et
volailles) où ils sont associés à d’autres matières premières par des éleveurs qui disposent d’un outil de fabrication d’aliments à la ferme. On pourrait également décliner les formes de présentation variées de ces aliments minéraux : poudres, semoulettes, granulés, aliments compactés à lécher ou minéraux liquides."

"semoulette = Présentation sous forme de particules plus ou moins sphériques, de taille plus importante que la poudre, obtenue par mélange d’intrants sous cette même forme ou par agglomération de
poudres avec incorporation de liquides. "

pellets

Pellets seem to be the most commonly used term.
There are plenty of Ghits for poultry pellets. The link is to a site that describes quite a few different types.

semolina

Je crois que uniquement en France on fait la différence parmi trois types de "semolina". Ils depend du grosseur.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Rachel Fell : I found this link too, but semolina is what couscous is, so I think this is a finer version

crumble

Certain animal feeds come in the form of mash, crumble or pellets. Farine and granulé correspond to mash and pellets, leading me to wonder if semoulette is a form of crumble. From the pictures I've seen on Google images, it appears to be similar anyway.

granulated meal/granular-form meal



and this is possibly CHELATED meal since there are added minerals

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelates_in_animal_nutrition

I think the link with semolina is simply to distinguish the grain size of the meal since there are various size sieves/meshes/bags where semolina/flour/sugar /coffee etc are used as reference points for powder/granular structures.
