Flaxseed meal feed grade is a by-product of the oil extraction process from flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum). After the oil is removed, the remaining meal is processed into a high-protein, nutrient-rich ingredient used in animal feed.
Usage areas
- Livestock feed: An important protein and fibre source in cattle, sheep, and goat feed. It supports growth, weight gain, and overall health by providing high-quality protein and beneficial fatty acids.
- Poultry feed: Used in poultry diets to improve egg production, meat quality, and overall health due to its nutrient-rich profile and high omega-3 content.
- Swine feed: Flaxseed meal is included in pig feed to help promote lean muscle growth, improve coat condition, and support immune health.
- Aquaculture feed: Flaxseed meal is sometimes included in fish and shrimp feed, offering a plant-based protein source and a high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for fish health and growth.
- Pet food: Occasionally used in pet food formulations, particularly for dogs, where it serves as a source of high-quality plant protein, fibre, and omega fatty acids that support overall nutrition and skin health.
- Animal fodder: Flaxseed meal is used in forage mixes for livestock, providing a protein boost and promoting healthy digestion and growth.
