Cotton Seeds By Yashasvi Agro Tech

As a leading organization, we are engaged in manufacturing and supplying a quality range of Cotton Seeds in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Cotton seed are flourishing in new markets such as feed products for livestock. Cotton seed is crushed in the mill after removing lint from the cotton plant. The seed is further crushed to remove any remaining linters or strands of minute cotton fibres. The seeds are further hulled and polished to release the soft and high-protein meat.

These hulls of the cottonseed are then mixed with other types of grains in order to make it suitable for the livestock feed. Cottonseed Meal and Cottonseed Hulls are the most abundantly available natural sources of protein and fibre used to feed livestock.

Cottonseed Meal

Cottonseed meal is a good source of protein. Most of the meal is extracted mechanically through cottonseed kernels. The flaked cottonseed kernels are put into high pressure through a screw inside a barrel which is constantly revolving. The screw pushes out the oil through the openings made in the barrel. The dry pieces left in the barrel are preserved and ground into meal. The cotton seed kernels are subjected to fine grinding by pushing them through an expander and then the solvent is used to extract most of the oil. Cottonseed meal is considered to have more arginine than soybean meal.

Cottonseed meal can be used in multiple ways: either alone or by mixing it with other plant and animal protein sources.
