SUNFLOWER
PELLETS
Protein Feed.
De-hulled sunflower pellets contain 30% crude protein. Sunflower pellets are produced from sunflowermeal, which is a product remaining after sunflower seed has been processed by a solvent extraction method to extract the oil (similar to the processing used for soybean).
Sunflower pellets provide a source of fibre and protein in animal feed diets. This makes it a highly valuable livestock feed, particularly for ruminants (where its high fibre can help reduce acidosis).
Sunflower pellets and meal are considered to be a safe feed for all species because it does not have anti-nutritional factors such as those found in cottonseed and rapeseed meals. The products only limitations are its fibre content and amino acid deficiencies for some animals.
