The increasing demand for proteins as animal feed results in a growing interest in various protein sources. Hence, rapeseed, a raw material from the production of edible oils, seems a promising alternative animal protein feed. Also called mustard deeds, it is a major protein source for animals in many parts of the world. In this post, we discuss the nutritional content of rapeseed meals to let you assess whether it is a perfect item to use in poultry and livestock diets. Introduction Mustard seeds, known as rape seeds, are widely cultivated worldwide as a major protein meal and oil source. Oil recovery from mustard seed ranges between 39-44% based on the type and crushing process. It ranks third in the global production of other oil-seed crops.  Rapeseed contains high protein content and a well-balanced amino acid profile, much better than other cereals. The leftovers after oil extraction are used as a meal for animal and livestock feed. Despite containing large amounts of highly ...

With the increasing ethanol industry and elevated grain prices, distillers grains have become a vital topic for discussion. The high nutritional content of these grains makes them suitable for many applications, like feed for livestock and more. To let you discover more about distillers' grains, we share what these grains are, their nutrient composition, and the various types. Let's read about it!

In 1907, the first study for feeding distillers grains to cattle was published in the United States.  The impressive growth in fuel ethanol production has drastically increased the supply of distillers' grains, leading to increased potential in feeding them.  The annual production of these grains was around 1 million tons in 1998 and about 10 million tons in 2006, and it is estimated to increa...

Sunflower is an abundantly found oilseed. Whole sunflower seeds are available in broiler diets at 15-20% of the diet proportion. The by-product left after oil extraction from sunflower seeds is known as sunflower seed meal. Many manufacturers and suppliers provide sunflower seed meals for animal feed. To understand whether this meal is healthy for animals, we must read this post. So, let's take a quick dive! Sunflower offers high-quality feed for livestock. It produces healthy oil for human consumption. Most farmers don't know the value of sunflowers as feed for chickens and dairy cows.  A little concentration of this meal is available at agro-veterinary shops. But you must provide a balanced diet to your livestock to ensure good milk production all year round. You can make your feed using sunflower meal protein equipment to ensure you always feed your livestock with high-quality feed. But if you are thinking about whether it will make a rich dietary source for your livestoc...

With the expansion of the bioethanol industry, corn by-product production has drastically increased. Initially, the milling industry considered by-products waste. However, their increased production has developed a robust market for such items in the livestock nutrition industry. Though corn items are moderated, distiller grains have formed an important place in the livestock feeding system. Distiller grains are the end product of corn. After the starch is fermented to generate ethanol, they retain the original protein content, fatty acids, fiber, phosphorus, and mineral of the corn kernel. Distiller grains are fed to the cattle in wet or dry forms. The wet distiller grains with soluble or WDGS are challenging to store and have a limited useful life. For this reason, there is more demand for dry distiller grains with soluble or DDGS.
