West Africa's agricultural processing industries generate millions of tons of by-products each year that are highly valuable as animal feed ingredients. Palm kernel cake, cashew shell cake, sesame meal, and cassava chips provide protein, energy, and fiber at a fraction of the cost of traditional feed ingredients like soybean meal and corn.
Origin Direct supplies these by-products in bulk quantities directly from processing facilities across Ghana and Nigeria. We handle quality testing, export documentation, and logistics to your destination. Our supply is consistent year-round, with the volumes that commercial feed mills require.
Whether you are formulating feed for dairy cattle, beef cattle, poultry, swine, or aquaculture, our technical team can advise on the right products and inclusion rates for your specific application.
Products for Animal Feed
Cashew Shell Cake
By-product of cashew nut processing. High in fiber and residual oil, cashew shell cake is used as a protein and energy supplement in ruminant feed formulations.
Palm Kernel Cake
The solid residue after palm kernel oil extraction. Rich in protein (14-18%) and fiber, widely used in dairy cattle, beef cattle, and sheep feed rations.
Cassava Chips
Dried cassava chips for animal feed as an energy source. High starch content (65-70%) makes cassava an economical replacement for corn in feed formulations.
Sesame Meal
By-product of sesame oil extraction. High protein content (35-50%) with good amino acid profile. Used in poultry, swine, and aquaculture feed.
Shea Nut Cake
Residue from shea butter extraction. Used as a supplementary feed ingredient and also as organic fertilizer. Available in large volumes from Ghana.
Moringa Leaf Meal
Dried and ground moringa leaves used as a high-protein, vitamin-rich feed additive for poultry, swine, and cattle. Improves growth rates and egg production in poultry.
Applications by Livestock Type
Dairy Cattle
Palm kernel cake (up to 30% inclusion) and cassava chips provide energy and protein for milk production. Sesame meal offers high methionine for improved milk composition.
Beef Cattle & Sheep
Palm kernel cake and shea nut cake are cost-effective protein and energy sources for ruminant fattening rations. Cassava chips replace corn as an energy source.
Poultry
Sesame meal (up to 15% inclusion) provides high-quality protein. Moringa leaf meal improves egg production and yolk color at 3-5% inclusion rates.
Aquaculture
Sesame meal is an excellent fish meal replacement in aquaculture feed. Moringa leaf meal supports growth in tilapia and catfish farming.
