Sunflower Seed Cake

Sunflower Seed Cake – High-Protein Feed Ingredient for Livestock Nutrition

Product Overview

Sunflower Seed Cake, also known as Sunflower Meal, is a nutrient-rich byproduct obtained after the mechanical or solvent extraction of oil from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus). It is one of the most valuable plant-based protein sources used in livestock feed formulations, offering a balanced composition of protein, fiber, and essential amino acids. This natural feed material supports healthy growth, milk production, and muscle development in cattle, poultry, sheep, and goats.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Sunflower Seed Cake produced from non-GMO sunflower seeds, ensuring high digestibility, purity, and consistent nutritional value. Our cakes and meals are available in both mechanically pressed (expeller) and solvent-extracted forms, with customizable protein levels to meet specific feed requirements.
