Description

Cottonseed Meal CAS NO 68424-10-2 is a high-protein byproduct derived from the extraction of oil from cotton seeds. This versatile organic material serves as a valuable, cost-effective source of nitrogen and other essential nutrients. It is primarily utilized in the agricultural sector as a slow-release organic fertilizer and as a protein supplement in formulated animal feeds.

Application

• Organic Fertilizer: Acts as a nitrogen-rich, slow-release soil amendment to improve soil structure and fertility.
• Animal Feed Supplement: Used as a protein source in ruminant and poultry feed formulations, providing essential amino acids.
• Aquaculture Feed: Incorporated into fish and shrimp feed as a plant-based protein component.
• Composting Agent: Serves as a "green" material to accelerate the composting process and enrich the final compost quality.
• Biogas Production: Used as a substrate in anaerobic digesters for the production of methane-rich biogas.
• Soil Conditioner: Enhances water retention and microbial activity in degraded or sandy soils.

Quality Control

Our Cottonseed Meal is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure consistency and safety for its intended applications. Key parameters such as protein content, moisture, fat (oil) content, and free gossypol levels are routinely monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct heat and moisture sources. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, prolonged exposure to high humidity should be avoided to prevent caking and spoilage.
