Cottonseed Hulls

Natural Fiber. Digestive Health. Cost-Effective Feed Component.

Cottonseed Hulls are a fibrous byproduct of cotton processing, widely valued as a roughage source in livestock diets. Rich in effective fiber, they help promote healthy rumen function, support digestion, and maintain proper chewing activity in cattle, sheep, and other ruminants.

As a cost-effective alternative to traditional forages, Cottonseed Hulls provide bulk and fiber without adding excessive energy or protein, making them ideal for balancing rations and managing feed costs. Their light, dry texture also ensures easy handling and mixing in feed formulations.

Choose Cottonseed Hulls to improve rumen health, support overall animal wellbeing, and optimize your feed program with an economical fiber source.

Nutritional Benefits

  • Excellent fiber source: Cottonseed hulls provide essential fiber, especially beneficial in diets high in starch for dairy cows.

  • Supports better digestion: They encourage rumination, which helps break down starch more effectively and reduces undigested feed passing through the gut.

  • Boosts milk fat: Feeding cottonseed hulls has been shown to increase milk fat content without lowering overall milk production.

  • Highly palatable: Despite being low in nutrients, cottonseed hulls are well-liked by cattle and can encourage higher feed intake, particularly in calf starter feeds.

  • Enhances calf growth: Including cottonseed hulls in low-fiber starter mixes helps improve average daily weight gain and body weight after weaning.
