Description
What it is. By-product obtained by extraction of oil from sunflower seeds, resulting in a meal rich in fibre and protein. Composition varies depending on seed dehulling rate and oil extraction process.
What it is for. Sunflower extraction meal is generally used as a protein and fibre source in feed for ruminants, and, at lower incorporation levels, for pigs and poultry. It would generally be used to partially replace other protein sources in diet formulation, taking into account its crude fibre content. Incorporation level is generally adapted to species and physiological stage, given its digestibility profile.
Points to watch. No maximum content or specific regulatory limit is documented in the available sources. Nutritional value varies according to dehulling rate and extraction process; this variability should be checked against the supplier's analytical sheet before formulation.
