Indications

Coconut meal or Copra meal is a by product of the ripe fruit (nut) of the Coconut Palm.

This nut is split and the kernel is removed and dried below 6% moisture. This is then called Copra Meal but it still contains oil. After pressing or extracting oil the remaining residue is called Coconut meal.

Directions for use

Use as directed by your Consultant Nutritionist.

High levels of Copra meal should not be suddenly included into the diets of pigs and poultry (even if the diet is nutritionally sound). Introduce Copra meal into the diet slowly over time. This will overcome the initial reluctance by stock to eating Copra meal

Copra meal can be used in diets for pigs (except creep diets) poultry, cattle (Dairy and Beef) and horses of all ages. Contains less than 2% starch so does not cause starch related disorders such as trying up and laminitis.

Ideal for introducing stock to supplementary feeding and can be used strategically to supplement pasture for higher milk production or growing or fattening stock.

Can be mixed in a finished feed, or silage, to raise protein and energy to make a complete feed.

Suggested inclusion levels as follows:

Creep diets nil

Pig diets other up to 10%

Poultry diets up to 5%

Cattle diets up to 10%

Equine and Sheep diets up to 10%
