Salseed meal is used as energy source (not protein source).The seed meal is a forest-origin feedstuff and contains 9 - 10% protein and 2300 - 2800 kcal ME/kg energy. Because of its high tannin content (12 - 13%), it cannot use in poultry rations in higher quantities.
The seed contains 19 - 20% of oil. The oil is used as a substitute for butter and also in confectionaries and eatables. The oil cakes remaining after oil extraction contain 10 - 12% protein and are used as feed for chicken.
