COPRA MEAL
Coconut meal or copra meal is produced from the ripe fruit (nut) of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera).
Note
The nut is split and the kernel is removed and dried below 6% moisture. This meal is called copra meal and still contains the oil.
Care is needed when feeding copra meal to livestock to ensure that it is not rancid, as this will cause diarrhoea. Rancidity usually develops as a result of the meal being stored for too long under unfavourable conditions such as high temperature.
