What is Livestock Farming? From a Source of Livelihood to Modern Production
Livestock farming is not a simple profession. To begin with, let us try to answer the question “what is livestock farming.” It is the practice of raising various animals to obtain food and other products such as meat, milk, eggs, and wool.
Shea Nut Meal
Shea nut meal is a by-product obtained from the processing of seeds of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), which is native to the African continent. It is commonly utilized as an ingredient in animal feed and organic food applications. Shea butter is extracted as a valuable natural fat used in various industries.
Corn Gluten
Corn Gluten Meal is a valuable grain-based product obtained during corn processing, after the germ and corn bran are separated and the starch is washed out from the endosperm. It differs from gluten-containing grains such as wheat in its composition and functional properties.
Flour By-Product
Milling By-Product (Razmol) is essentially a finer fraction of wheat bran. It is obtained during the milling process when the wheat kernel is separated from its outer layers, and the finer particles are collected through sieving operations. Razmol is primarily used in animal feed applications due to its nutritional content and digestibility.
Broken Wheat
Broken Wheat has been an important source of nutrition throughout human history for thousands of years. It is so valuable that even broken wheat kernels should not be wasted. Cracked wheat is obtained when wheat grains are broken during harvesting in the combine harvester and through handling and transportation processes.
Rice Bran
Rice bran is a nutrient-rich by-product obtained during the hulling and polishing of paddy rice grains. This valuable fraction, produced in the rice milling process, is widely utilized in both human nutrition and animal feed applications.
Corn Flakes
Flaked corn is obtained by processing cleaned corn kernels after pre-cleaning stages. Produced in thin flake form, this grain product preserves the natural nutritional value of corn. It is valued for its palatability and high nutritional content, making it a preferred ingredient in feed applications.
