Copra Meal

nutracool

Coconut meal or copra meal is a byproduct of the ripe fruit (nut) of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). The nut is split and the kernel is removed and dried below 6 percent moisture. This is called copra meal and still contains the oil.  After pressing or extracting the oil the remaining residue is called coconut meal.

High levels of copra meal should not be suddenly included in the diet of pigs or 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.

Copa meal can be used in diets for pigs and poultry, cattle and horses of all ages except very young stock.

Mi-Feed's Nutra Cool is premium quality assured coconut meal. With low levels of starch the feed is cool and safe with sustained energy release without the fizz. Highly palatable Nutra Cool is widely used across all equine disciplines, giving riders the competitive edge.
