Defatted Palm Kernel Meal from China
Defatted palm kernel meal results from solvent extraction removing most oil from palm kernels, yielding a high-protein (18-20%) powder for monogastric animal feeds. Its low fat content makes it ideal for broiler chicken diets. HTS 2306.60.00.00 covers this as the solid residue from microbial or vegetable fat extraction of palm kernels.
