Description
What it is. By-product of oil extraction, obtained by solvent extraction of sunflower seed press cake followed by an appropriate heat treatment. Protein and crude fibre content are declared as characterising constituents.
What it is for. Protein source commonly used in diets for ruminants, pigs and poultry, and generally valued for its fibre fraction, which can support digestive function. It is generally used as a complement to other protein sources in compound feed formulation, with inclusion adjusted according to the target species and the protein/fibre balance sought.
Points to watch. Protein and crude fibre content may vary depending on seed origin, dehulling rate and processing conditions; these should be checked on the product specification. Storage in a dry environment is recommended to limit the risk of oxidation and spoilage.
