Cottonseed cake is a by-product obtained in the process of mechanical crushing of cottonseed. This product has high levels of fiber, which is why it is widely used in diets with a high inclusion of concentrate.

It is used in the composition of cattle rations, whether dairy cattle or beef cattle on pasture in semi-confinement, and is considered a protein product but also has energy and digestive fibers. It is a product that attracts attention when soybean meal is high, especially in animals in the finishing phase, and can replace soybean meal by up to 100%.
