Cottonseed, Meal
Description:
Cottonseed meal is a
high protein by-product from the extraction of
oil from whole cottonseed. There are two
different processing methods used to extract the
oil from the cottonseed, and they differ in the
amount of oil (fat) they leave in the meal. The
amount of oil left in the meal affects its
energy value.

Cottonseed, Hulls
Description:
Cottonseed hulls are
used mostly in the southern area of the U.S.
They are low in protein, calcium, phosphorus and
energy and high in fiber. Cottonseed hulls are
palatable and are used as a roughage for cattle,
especially in areas where good quality forages
are scarce. They occasionally are included in
grain mixes to increase the bulk density and
crude fiber content. They can be helpful in
supporting fat test in low fiber or low roughage
rations.

Cottonseed, Whole
Description:
Whole cottonseed is
high in protein, fat, fiber and energy. This
combination of nutrients in one feedstuff is
unusual. Whole cottonseed with the lint still
attached is white and fuzzy in appearance. It
sometimes is called "fuzzy seed," and has the
analysis shown below. Whole cottonseed from
which the lint has been removed is called
delinted seed, is black and smooth in
appearance, and tends to be slightly higher in
protein and fat than the fuzzy seed.
