COMPOSITION OF COTTON-SEED, MEATS, MEAL AND HULLS 



The composition of these products varies a great deal. Some- 

 times the meal reaches 49 per cent, protein. Some mills have 

 poor extraction and turn out meal that carries 10 to 13 per cent, 

 fat. The feed sold as cotton-seed hulls varies with the amount 

 of broken meats present. A poor separation of hulls and meats 

 causes this product to occasionally contain as high as 10 per 

 cent, protein and 2.5 to 3 per cent. fat. The composition of 

 cotton-seed meal is apt to vary with the season, the nature of 

 the soil it was raised on, the fertilizers applied and the climatic 

 conditions. 

 COMPOSITION OF COTTON-SEED MEAL FROM HIGH AND Low LAND SEED 



Cold Pressed Cake. This is sometimes sold as Caddo cake and 

 is the residue obtained from cotton seed from which most of the 

 oil has been extracted by compression, without separating- the 

 kernels and the hulls and without heating.
