Canola Seed Cake
♻️ From Rejected Canola to Feed Cake: Sustainable Protein for Livestock
canola seed cake (rapeseed cake)
Canola cake is gaining popularity as a superior feed ingredient in the dairy sub-sector in Kenya. Because of its richer nutritional profile, it offers unmatched advantages over other protein sources. To committed commercial dairy farmers seeking optimum milk production and animal health, canola cake is a game changer.
Advantages
- High quality Protein Content that’s essential for increased milk production, butter fat content and improved animal growth.
- Balanced Amino Acids profile that promotes better digestion and absorption of nutrients.
- Energy Efficiency that needed in maintaining the ideal animal’s body condition score and productivity.
- Higher palatability and digestibility in ruminants
What We Do: Make Canola Meal (Feed Cake)
Cold-pressed or solvent-extracted
The rejected canola is processed to extract residual oil, leaving behind a protein-rich canola meal, also known as feed cake.
🌾 Animal Feed Supplement
- protein content: 35–38%
- Fat content : 10-11%
- Energy: 441kcal/100g
- Crude Fiber: 7-15%
- Calcium: 0.5 - 0.7 %
- Balanced amino acid profile
- Suitable for cattle, poultry, goats, and fish feed formulations
🌱 Why It Matters
♻️ Reduces agro-waste from oilseed processing
🐄 Supports local livestock farmers with affordable, high-quality feed
🌍 Lowers carbon footprint of animal husbandry by localizing protein sources
🌍 Agristainability’s Circular Impact
By integrating rejected canola into livestock nutrition systems, we:
- Add value to an otherwise wasted resource
- Reduce dependence on expensive soy or imported protein feed
- Promote a regenerative, closed-loop agricultural economy in East Africa
