SAFFLOWER MEAL / KARDI MEAL

The meal is produced after removal of most of the hull and oil from the safflower seed. Usually decorticated forms contain 40-45% protein with 10% fibre. Safflower meal has low lysine and methionine content. It should be fed to the non-ruminants like pigs in conjunction with other lysine rich protein concentrates.
