Use
Inclusion limit
Broilers: performance decreases above 10-20% (P-S4). Layers: limit to 15% (P-S4). Pigs: max 20-25%, optimum near 10%, max 5% for young animals (P-S4). Goats: supplements with up to 75% copra meal used successfully (P-S4). Rohu: replaced up to 50% of fish meal with amino-acid supplementation (P-S4).
High residual oil makes it prone to rancidity; rancid meal is refused and may cause diarrhoea (P-S4). Aflatoxin risk from poorly dried copra; keep moisture at or below 12% and store ventilated (P-S4).
