Abstract
AbstractSafflower meal from undecorticated commercial seed is useful feed for ruminant animals. Its low energy content is a problem in poultry and swine rations.Partially decorticated meals are valuable for ruminants and are also quite suitable in poultry rations if provision is made for extra metabolizable calories, and if other feed ingredients supply additional lysine and methionine. In a properly balanced ration safflower meal produces growth rates superior to those from optimally supplemented soybean oilmeal.The flour obtained by essentially complete removal of oil and hulls is light colored, bitter, and contains about 60% protein. Debittering yields a relatively bland, 70% protein flour which has potential as a human food.
