Sunflower meal
Sunflower oil meal with high content of protein
It is a by-product in the production of sunflower oil. It is obtained as a result of compression and extraction of already extracted sunflower seeds. The oilseed meal contains a higher percentage of crude protein (40%); herewith, the percentage of crude fat is much less (1 — 2%). Oilseed meal contains B and E vitamins, choline, biotin, panthenol acid, phosphorus, potassium, fiber, proteins and many other substances.
It is used for feeding purposes of animals, birds and fish. It is used either in pure form or as an additive in the compound feed.
