Spanish term or phrase: núcleo de alimento o de alimentación
I am translating an interview of a large-scale pig and poultry farmer, and he talks about purchasing "núcleos" from a feed company. I assume it means the core ingredient of the feed, to which the farmer will add other substances, but is there, perhaps, a more precise and concise way to say this?
