Palm Kernel Cake

Palm Kernel Cake – Energy-Rich By-Product for Cattle and Ruminant Feed

Product Overview

Palm Kernel Cake (PKC) is a nutrient-rich by-product obtained after extracting oil from the kernels of the oil palm fruit (Elaeis guineensis). It is highly valued in animal nutrition for its excellent energy content, digestible fiber, and moderate protein level, making it ideal for ruminants such as cattle, goats, and sheep. PKC promotes healthy weight gain and rumen function when used as part of a balanced feed formulation.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply High-Quality Palm Kernel Cake sourced from certified palm oil mills operating under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management and sustainability standards. Available in expeller-pressed and solvent-extracted grades, our PKC provides a consistent supply of energy and nutrients while supporting sustainable feed production systems worldwide.
