Rapeseed meal is mainly used in animal feed and also as organic fertilizer. The meal is preferred over oilcake due to its versatile use. The protein content is normally 36%-38%. Rapeseed is mainly grown in the northern belt of India with the state of Rajasthan being the largest producer. Its production heavily depends on weather with sowing activity normally taking place in Oct-Nov and harvesting in Feb-March. The rapeseed is crushed to obtain oil and cake which is further sent to solvent extraction for removal of residual oil and to obtain its meal.

Soybean meal is an ingredient basically used in dog food and cattle feeding. It is the product obtained by grinding the flakes which remain after removal of most of the oil from soybeans by a solvent or mechanical extraction process.

Soybean meal is high quality protein filler containing 50% protein. It boosts the protein content of pet food. It is more suited for feed in aquaculture, beef, dairy cattle, horses, poultry, sheep, and pigs.

Coconut meal or Copra meal is a by product of the ripe fruit (nut) of the Coconut Palm. This nut is split and the kernel is removed and dried below 6% moisture. This is then called Copra Meal but it still contains oil. After pressing or extracting oil the remaining residue is called Coconut meal.

Copra Meal is a highly digestible supplement with moderately high protein and energy values, with its energy being derived from its relatively high oil and fiber content and no carbohydrate it is a very safe product to feed to ruminants.

Palm Kernel Meal (PKE)is a high quality by-product produced from the mechanical extraction of palm oil from the fruit of the oil palm.
Palm Kernel Meal is a natural high quality protein meal containing 8 – 10% oil, 16 – 18% crude protein and is a safe protein meal to be fed to most classes of livestock.
Advantages of using PKE are that it is safe and non acid producing. It is an excellent source of oil and rumen fermentable fiber which usually improves the milk fat test. Is a good source of minerals especially phosphorus, copper, zinc and manganese.
