Features & Benefits
- The nut is split and the kernel is removed and dried below 6% moisture. This meal is called copra meal and still contains the oil.
- Care is needed when feeding copra meal to livestock to ensure that it is not rancid, as this will cause diarrhoea. Rancidity usually develops as a result of the meal being stored for too long under unfavourable conditions such as high temperature.
