Overview

Description & composition

This product is sourced from premium cotton fields and processed under controlled conditions to preserve its natural nutrient density. Cottonseed provides a balanced combination of fat, highly digestible fiber, and effective protein, making it an excellent ingredient for boosting energy levels and stabilizing rumen function. Its residual oil content contributes to higher energy intake, while the fiber fraction enhances chewing activity and supports digestive health. Cottonseed is particularly valued in dairy operations for its role in increasing milk yield and improving body condition. Cleanliness, low moisture, and proper handling help maintain product integrity and optimize feeding performance.
