Benefits of Using Sunflower Meal

• High protein content, making it ideal for balancing protein intake in animal feed, especially in concentrated feeds.
• Plays a crucial role in the growth of young animals and those that produce milk.
• Contains significant amounts of calcium and phosphorus.
• Rich in essential amino acids, except for methionine, which is deficient. This characteristic is important when balancing feed rations, often by adding soybean meal, which is rich in methionine.

Quality Standards

The quality of sunflower meal must meet specific criteria, such as:
• Fine-ground texture
• No burnt or moldy particles
• Grayish-white color
• Specific odor
• Crude ash content below 9%
• Minimum of 30% crude protein

Sunflower meal can also be used in the feed of other animal species, contributing to a well-balanced protein and amino acid intake. For animals with a single-compartment stomach, sunflower meal helps balance protein levels and optimize sulfur amino acid content.
