Dairy cows
Copra meal is a good ingredient of dairy rations and provides energy and by-pass protein. 1.5-2 kg/d have been recommended as the maximum safe amount (Göhl, 1982) but cows have been fed more than 3 kg/d without adverse effects (Ehrlich et al., 1990). Copra meal has been shown to be a suitable supplement for cows grazing tropical pastures in Fiji and adding 1.8 kg/day of copra meal to the diet increased milk production by 70% (McIntyre, 1973). Cows grazing Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and copra meal providing 300 g/d of protein increased production by at least 1 kg/day (Muinga et al., 1993). Less impressive results have been obtained on richer pastures, but copra meal could still replace sorghum grain and increase the fat content of the milk (Ehrlich et al., 1990). Earlier research suggests that copra meal makes butterfat harder, lending it a pleasant flavour, but that large quantities of copra meal may result in tallowy butter (Göhl, 1982).
Sheep
Copra meal can be a suitable supplement for sheep and other ruminants consuming tropical pastures (Hammond et al., 1993; Galgal et al., 1994).copra meal given to pregnant ewes increased birth weight of twin lambs, milk yield and ewe liveweight after lambing (Bird et al., 1990).
Goats
Copra meal is often used as a protein supplement for grass-fed goats. Supplements containing up to 75 % copra meal have been used successfully in goats fed Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) (Aregheore, 2006). Substituting 50 % of copra meal with leucaena hay increased daily gain and diet digestibility (Mousoon et al., 1997), and it could be replaced by 75 % of dried brewer’s grains (Aregheore et al., 2006).
We have good quality copra meal for cattle feed COPRA EXPELLER / COPRA MEAL Coconut oil is produced by extracting oil from copra, which is dried coconut flesh. When the oil is expelled mechanically the residue is called copra cake and if this is then solvent extracted to increase the yield of oil, the product is called copra meal. These copra by-products are valuable protein sources in animal feeds, especially dairy feed
