Copra Meal with 18–20% Protein: Ideal for Poultry and Dairy Applications
As the global demand for sustainable and affordable animal feed continues to rise, copra meal with 18–20% protein has emerged as an effective solution—especially for the poultry and dairy industries. This by-product of coconut oil extraction not only offers nutritional value but also presents an economically viable alternative to traditional feed ingredients like soybean meal and corn gluten.
What is Copra Meal?
Copra meal is a dry residue obtained after the extraction of coconut oil from dried coconut kernels, also known as copra. It is high in fiber and moderate in protein, making it suitable for ruminants and monogastric animals alike. The 18–20% protein content is particularly beneficial for livestock that require steady energy and protein intake for growth, milk production, and overall performance.
Why 18–20% Protein Matters for Livestock
For poultry and dairy cattle, protein is a critical component of their diet. In poultry, protein supports muscle development, egg production, and feather quality. In dairy cows, it plays a vital role in milk yield and composition.
A protein level of 18–20% in copra meal hits a sweet spot—sufficient to meet daily nutritional requirements without overwhelming the digestive system. It also balances well with other feed ingredients, making it easy for nutritionists to formulate complete rations.
Advantages of Copra Meal for Poultry and Dairy Use
-
Cost-Effective Protein Source
Compared to conventional protein sources, copra meal is more affordable and widely available in coconut-producing countries. This makes it an attractive option for feed manufacturers and livestock farmers aiming to optimize feed cost per gain. -
High Digestibility
Despite its fibrous nature, properly processed copra meal offers good digestibility. This ensures that poultry and ruminants can extract maximum nutrients without burdening their digestive systems. -
Energy-Rich Feed
Copra meal contains residual oil (typically 8–10%), which adds energy value to the feed. This is especially beneficial during cold seasons or for high-producing dairy cows. -
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
As a by-product of coconut oil production, using copra meal reduces waste and promotes circular agricultural practices—something increasingly important to environmentally conscious markets.
