What are high fiber co-products from the copra and palm kernel industries?

High fiber co-products from the copra and palm kernel industries are by-products of the production of coconut oil and palm kernel oil. The co-products include copra meal, copra expellers, palm kernel meal, and palm kernel expellers. All 4 ingredients are very high in fiber and the energy value is relatively low when fed to pigs.

How is copra meal produced?

World production of copra meal and copra expellers is approximately 2,000,000 metric tons [ 1 ]. Copra meal is produced by expeller extracting or solvent extracting the oil from dried coconut kernels. Copra meal is sometimes referred to as coconut meal or coconut oil meal.

Does copra contain phytate?

Copra and palm kernel ingredients contain 0.5 to 0.6 % P. Most of the P in palm kernel meal and palm kernel expellers is bound to phytate, but in copra products less than one third of the P is bound to phytate. The digestibility of P is, therefore, greater in copra meal and copra expellers than in palm kernel ingredients.

How much phytate is in copra meal and copra expellers?

Copra meal and copra expellers contain between 0.50 and 0.58 % total P [ 10, 12, 13 ], but less than one third of the P is bound to phytate. The standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P, therefore, is relatively high in copra meal and copra expellers (Table 2; [ 12, 13 ]).
