SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Sunflower seeds, which are considered as the fruit and seed of the sunflower plant, are of two types.

Oil-free and oil-free sunflower seeds are grown for different uses.

Sunflower meal, which occurs in oil-type seeds, is a protein-rich component of animal feeds.

In addition, the seeds from the oil process can be fed to farm animals as a whole.

Oily sunflower seeds have a very valuable oil and fatty acid composition for livestock, especially beef and dairy cattle.

This oil improves the fatty acid content of meat in beef and milk from dairy cows.

In non-oily species, the seeds are widely used in bird feeds.

Sunflower seeds are rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, selenium, which protect against free radicals.
