Peanut meal is the by-product obtained after the extraction of oil from peanut seeds. It is a protein-rich ingredient that is widely used to feed all classes of livestock. Peanut meal is the sixth most common oil meal ingredient produced in the world after soybean meal, rapeseed meal, sunflower meal, cottonseed meal and palm kernel meal.
Peanut meal is generally considered as an excellent feed ingredient due to its high protein content, low fibre, high oil (for expeller meal) and relative absence of antinutritional factors. It is often the default high protein source in regions where soybean meal is too expensive or not available.
Peanut meal typically contains 8 percent total nitrogen (~5.5% water insoluble), 1% available phosphate (P2O5), and 2% soluble potash (K2O).
