📦 Explore Our Premium Palm Kernel Cake (PKC) Types
Expeller-Pressed Palm Kernel Cake
(4.5/5 stars)
This is the most common type, produced by mechanically pressing oil from palm kernels. It's a staple in livestock feed due to its balanced nutritional profile.
- Process: Oil is extracted mechanically using an expeller press.
- Characteristics: Typically has about 6-8% residual oil content and a coarse texture. Crude protein usually ranges from 14-18%.
- Uses: Widely used for ruminants (cattle, goats, sheep) due to its higher fiber content and residual oil, providing good energy.
Solvent-Extracted Palm Kernel Cake
(5/5 stars)
This type of PKC is further processed using solvents to significantly reduce oil content, making it a drier option.
- Process: Oil is extracted using a solvent (typically hexane) after initial mechanical pressing.
- Characteristics: Features much lower residual oil content (<1.5%) and a finer, drier consistency. Often has a slightly higher protein content due to less oil dilution.
- Uses: Ideal for formulated animal feeds where low oil content is crucial, allowing for precise control over feed energy levels.
Pelletized Palm Kernel Cake
(4/5 stars)
PKC in pellet form is highly convenient for handling and storage, making it ideal for automated feeding systems.
- Process: Any form of PKC (expeller or solvent-extracted) is compressed into uniform pellets.
- Characteristics: Maintains the nutritional content of the original meal but is significantly easier to store, handle, transport, and mix evenly into feed rations. Reduces dust and waste.
- Uses: Preferred by large commercial feed mills and farms utilizing automated feeding systems for convenience and efficiency.
Blended PKC (Custom Formulations)
(4.5/5 stars)
We offer customized PKC formulations tailored to your livestock's specific nutritional needs, combining PKC with other feed ingredients.
- Process: PKC is combined with other feed ingredients (e.g., grains, other protein sources) to create custom formulations.
- Characteristics: Nutritional profile (protein, fiber, energy) can be specifically adjusted to meet the precise dietary requirements of different livestock species or production stages.
- Uses: Tailored for specialized farming operations, research facilities, or livestock with unique nutritional demands.
