Nutritional value of fermented cottonseed meal and its application in animal production
Cottonseed meal is a high-quality protein feed with high crude protein content,which could be used to replace soybean meal,but it contains high anti-nutritional factors,which limits the application effect in animal production.After microbial fermentation,the content of anti-nutritional factors in cottonseed meal could be effectively reduced,the nutritional value,and the feeding effect of animals could be improved.In this paper,the nutritional value,fermentation process,safety evaluation and application of fermented cottonseed meal in animal production were reviewed,in order to provide reference for the rational utilization of fermented cottonseed meal.
