Groundnut Oil Cake

Peanut meal is a high-protein feed. Its protein content is usually about 50-55% of the DM, and ranges from 42% to more than 60%, depending on the amount of oil, skins and hulls. Peanut cake processed on-farm, including shells and more residual oil, can have a protein content of less than 40% of DM.

Peanut meal is the by-product obtained after the extraction of oil from peanut seeds.It is a protein-rich ingredient that is widely used to feed all classes of livestock. Peanut meal is the sixth most common oil meal ingredient produced in the world after soybean meal, rapeseed meal, sunflower meal, cottonseed meal and palm kernel meal. Peanut meal is generally considered as an excellent feed ingredient due to its high protein content, low fibre, high oil and relative absence of antinutritional factors. It is often the default high protein source in regions where soybean meal is too expensive or not available. However, aflatoxin contamination remains a serious issue, particularly for peanut meal produced from seeds grown in smallholder systems. Penut meal is produced by mechanical extraction only. It is also sold in pellet form. Expeller meal consists of light gray to brownish pieces (flakes) of variable size with a smooth, slightly curved surface. Solvent-extracted meal consists of light gray to brownish flakes of varying sizes. Peanut meal pellets vary between 1.5 and 40 mm in diameter and are light to dark gray in colour.
