Cottonseed protein concentrate
Light golden-yellow powder with no burnt odour and good palatability. Available in two standard crude-protein grades: 60% and 65%.
Parameters and safety indicators
The following are the limits for the standard grades. Each batch is confirmed by a Certificate of Analysis.
| Parameter | CPC 60 | CPC 65 |
|---|---|---|
| Crude protein (dry matter) | ≥60% | ≥65% |
| Amino acids as % of crude protein | ≥87% | ≥87% |
| Free gossypol | ≤400 mg/kg | ≤300 mg/kg |
| Moisture | ≤10% | ≤10% |
| Crude fat | 0.1–2.2% | 0.1–2.2% |
| Crude fibre | ≤7.0% | ≤6.0% |
| Crude ash | 7.3–8.5% | 7.3–8.5% |
| Colour and odour | light, golden-yellow · no scorched odour | |
CPC 65 against fishmeal and soybean meal
Protein at the level of fishmeal, arginine above both raw materials. Lysine and methionine need to be topped up with synthetic amino acids at high replacement levels.
Ranges according to the nutritional composition table in the technology documentation.
| Component (% of dry matter) | CPC 65 | Fishmeal | Soybean meal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crude protein | 56.8–69.5 | 58.0–79.0 | 49.5–55.2 |
| Arginine | 4.6–12 | 3.2–5.0 | 3.6–4.0 |
| Lysine | 2.0–4.2 | 5.3–6.1 | 3.1–3.4 |
| Methionine | 0.5–1.1 | 1.7–2.6 | 0.7–0.8 |
| Threonine | 1.6–3.1 | 2.3–3.5 | 1.9–2.1 |
| Crude fat | 0.1–2.2 | 6.0–14.0 | 1.7–1.9 |

What replacing fishmeal is worth
Enter your own purchase prices and annual usage. The calculation assumes a 1:1 mass replacement with amino acids balanced.
140,000 EUR
An indicative result. The actual value depends on the amino acid balance of your formulation and the cost of topping up lysine and methionine. We will prepare a calculation for your formulation.
