Sunflower Doc
Sunflower Meal – A High-Quality Protein Source for Animal Feed
Sunflower meal is a valuable by-product obtained during the extraction of oil from sunflower seeds. Rich in methionine, it offers significant advantages when blended with other feed ingredients, enhancing overall nutritional balance.
As one of the trusted Sunflower DOC manufacturers in India, Bharat Agrovet employs specialized techniques to preserve its nutritional integrity. Given its high protein content and digestibility, sunflower meal has the potential to become a key poultry feed ingredient, especially in regions where soybean cultivation is limited.
Trusted Sunflower DOC exporter in India
Bharat Agrovet provides a high-quality protein source with an amino acid profile comparable to soybean meal and superior to cottonseed or rapeseed meals. Sunflower meal is highly palatable, nutritionally rich, and an excellent source of vitamin E. Its inclusion in broiler diets depends on factors such as fiber content, lysine levels, and energy supplementation. When properly balanced, sunflower meal can effectively replace soybean meal, ensuring optimal growth and performance in poultry.

Sunflower Meal – A Versatile Protein Source for Livestock
Sunflower meal can be safely included up to 20% in cattle rations. Un-decorticated sunflower cakes, which have higher fiber content, are best suited for adult ruminants, while decorticated sunflower cakes serve as a highly digestible, protein-rich feed suitable for all livestock. Due to their hardness, sunflower cakes are best ground and incorporated into compound cattle feeds.
As a biologically and economically valuable protein source, sunflower meal can serve as the sole protein source for livestock. In poultry nutrition, Sunflower Meal (SBM) can be used at 12% in layer diets without negatively affecting performance or egg quality. When formulated based on digestible amino acids, it enhances eggshell strength and egg-specific gravity.
As a leading Sunflower DOC supplier and exporter in India, Bharat Agrovet is committed to delivering premium-quality feed ingredients for optimal livestock health and productivity.
