SUNFLOWER MEAL

Meal or Schroth (it. Schrott, the basic meaning - small pieces, trimming) is a concentrated feed the byproduct of an oil extraction production. It is obtained by extracting oil from oilseeds using organic solvents in stills and evaporators. Depending on the raw materials distinguish sunflower, soy, rapeseed, mustard, cottonseed, castor, hemp and others. Sunflower meal - a valuable high-protein feed product. On the content of raw protein can distinguish two types of meal: high protein and low protein.

There are two approaches to the definition of indicators such as crude protein, fiber, fat. On the territory of the former Soviet Union are still operating standards for which these figures are determined based on the dry substance. Labs of most other countries define them in the raw material. The values obtained with the two approaches differ from one another. Sometimes, to designate the energy value of meal there is using an indicator such as «profat» (from the English «Protein & fat»). It defines the total content of protein and fat, that is, the residual oil content. 100 kg of sunflower meal about 100 feed units and up to 41 kg of digestible protein (based on dry substance). Sunflower meal contains vitamins E, and Groups B, rich in phosphorous, but poor in calcium and sodium. All presscakes should be used in the composition of animal feed. Linseed, soybean, and especially sunflower meal include feed for farm animals and birds of all kinds.

Depending on the processing, the meal is either loose or granular (pellet obtained in order to facilitate packaging, storage and transportation). If passed cooked meal, then its name is added to the designation of "toasted." For example: "Sunflower Meal toasted granular" or "non-granulated toasted Sunflower meal". Three leaders in the production is as follows - Argentina, Ukraine, Russia. World annual production of sunflower meal is more than 10 million tons, of which more than 40% accounted for by the above-mentioned countries. Argentina has undoubted leadership in sales of sunflower meal, exporting almost 90% of the volumes produced. This represents almost 50% of world exports.

  • "/> POULTRY The high protein and low fiber sunflower meals have application in poultry rations, but generally as a partial replacement for soybean meal. Lysine supplementation is required in laying hen diets containing over five percent sunflower meal. Threonine is a second limiting amino acid for broiler chicks and laying hens. The maximum amount of sunflower meal that can be included in diets for broiler chicks appears to be 15 percent in all mash diets and 30 percent in pelleted diets; higher amounts may adversely affect performances. Sunflower meal in laying hens can replace 100 percent of supplemental proteins, (including soybean meal) if sufficient supplemental lysine is included.
  • "/> CATTLE Sunflower meal is entirely adequate as the sole source of supplemental protein in dairy rations. The high oil content sunflower meal is an excellent feed source for dairy as well.
