Mostly filler in my opinion. I guess there's some nutritional value but probably not too much.

You might check with your states university extension office, if they have one.  In missouri they are really good about helping find out information.  I have used them before to find nutritional value of feedstuffs.

I raise peanuts and we can get all the hulls we want dumped in our pasture but I have yet to feed any. If the mills throw them away then it makes you wonder what value they have. I would like to have some tested just to see.
