"Organic Certified Copra Cake or Copra Meal"  -  Coconut oil  is extracted by  grating or grinding the
copra  to  produce  the  coconut oil  -  the  by-product or  solid  residue  is  known  as  Copra Cake or
Copra Meal.

Copra Cake  or  Copra Meal  is  also  used as fodder for horses, cattle, and other animals.  Its high oil
levels and  protein are very  fattening for stock and  it  is popular among  the horse enthusiasts.  The
copra meal  has unique benefits for the animals.  The protein  in  copra  meal has  been  heat  treated
and provides a source of high quality bypass protein for cattle, sheep and deer.

Copra Meal has the advantage of being a highly palatable carrier and 'taste masker' for carrying
anionic salts which are bitter tasting - Copra supplies magnesium, phosphorus and calcium among
other vital trace minerals and vitamins.

There are three key attributes contained within Copra Meal:

Firstly,  the  bypass  protein level  ensures that the valuable  protein  level  contained within Copra is
not degraded in the rumen but is absorbed further down the digestive tract to maximum effect.

Secondly, the  energy  supplied via  Copra is from  its  high  oil content rather than starch as in most
other grains  (barley, whole crop silage).  This oil is 'low heating' eliminating Acidosis type metabolic
problems occurring where the  excessive build up of acid in the gut extends into the large intestines
destroying the friendly bacteria population, leading to ongoing metabolic problems.

Thirdly,  the well balanced nutrient profile gives Copra Meal the advantage of being able to be fed as
a sole ration.  Consequently it is  superbly suited  to blending with silage, balancing the high energy
content  of the  silage with the  oil content  and protein  profile of copra meal  -  effectively the protein
deficiencies of silage,  most importantly  that  of the  amino  acid  L-Lysine being intimately related to
milk production more specifically milk fat production.

Copra Meal is an efficient, and cost effective feed supplement that can be fed to all classes of
livestock and can be shipped in bulk or packed in 40 kilo PP sacks.
