Usage

Sunflower Seed Cake is a source of high-quality protein and can be used freely in balanced diets for poultry and pigs owing to the absence of toxic compounds.

Sunflower Meal

The remaining material from the pressing stage (expeller) of sunflower seed usually contains 10–12% of oil. Sunflower Meal is obtained as a byproduct of solvent extraction from this material. In order to facilitate handling and transportation, the meal is often compacted through pressure and temperature treatment, into the shape of sunflower pellets.

Usage

Sunflower Meal is an excellent livestock feed, especially for ruminants, can be included in the diets of pigs, poultry, cattle, horses of all ages.  The sunflower oil extraction industry produces three kinds of meal: meal produced from undehulled seeds, containing around 28% of protein and 25–28% fiber; meal of partially dehulled seed, containing 35–37% protein and 18% fiber; and meal obtained through a two-step dehulling process of seed, containing 40–42% protein and 12–14% fiber. The meal composition thus depends on the efficiency of the dehulling process of sunflower seeds. The oil content of sunflower meals ranges between 1.5% and 2.5%, depending on oil extraction efficiency and raw material.
