Sunflower meal
Sunflower meal is a feed product used in agriculture. Its use is necessary to increase the productivity of animals and birds, which increases the profitability of the farm. The product is very useful; therefore it is included in the diet of animals. The meal is fed in pure form, as well as mixed with compound feed.
Also, the diet of animals includes other feeds, rich in vitamins and minerals. They should be given regularly so that the organisms get stronger quickly. This allows you to raise healthy animals, which is what any farm needs. The composition of sunflower meal includes 30 - 43% of crude protein, a rich set of amino acids, in particular a high content of methionine, which has a beneficial effect on the growth and development of young animals. Sunflower meal is rich in niacin, riboflavin, choline, biotin, pantothenic acid and pyridoxine. In addition to this, sunflower meal is an excellent source of vitamin E.
