Oilseed by-products meal and hulls

Soy hulls and sunflower shells removes before pressing are used as animal feed. Soy hulls are used as a replacement for corn or winter hay.
Seed meal is a valuable by-product of pressing oilseeds. Sesame seed cake is valuable as a human food. Sunflower seed cake is not suitable for people, but it makes a good addition to chicken, pig or cattle feed. It is quite high in crude protein, but contains very few carbohydrates. It should be used as a feed additive, not a feed by itself.
Canola, soy and safflower meal are also used as animal feed supplements. At the time of this writing, extensive camelina animal feeding trials are being conducted.
