Nutritive Value
Oil Content: The oil content in groundnut meal varies depending on the extraction process:
Ghani Pressed: 10-12% oil content
Expeller Pressed: 6-8% oil content
Solvent Extracted Cake: 0.5-0.7% oil content
Protein Content: Groundnut meal is an excellent source of protein, with levels ranging from 40-50%. This high protein content makes it an ideal ingredient for livestock and poultry diets.
Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN): The TDN of groundnut meal falls between 75-85%, indicating its effectiveness as a source of energy for animals.
Forms Available: Groundnut meal can be offered in two forms:
Decorticated: Lower fiber content, making it more digestible.
Undecorticated: Higher fiber content, which may be beneficial for certain dietary needs but can lead to lower overall nutrient absorption.
Nutritional Considerations
While groundnut meal is a nutritious feed ingredient, it is important to note that it is deficient in certain essential amino acids such as lysine, methionine, cystine, and tryptophan. Additionally, it has low levels of calcium, carotene, and vitamin D. Therefore, it is recommended to balance groundnut meal with other protein sources and supplements to ensure a well-rounded diet for livestock.
