When people talk about palm production, the conversation almost always centres on the oil. Palm Kernel Cake (PKC), the solid material left behind after kernel oil is extracted, rarely gets a mention — and that’s a shame, because it’s one of the more valuable by-products to come out of our processing facility.
What Is Palm Kernel Cake
Once we press palm kernels to extract crude palm kernel oil, what remains is a dense, fibrous cake. Rather than discard it, we process it further into a livestock feed ingredient — a good example of how little goes to waste in palm processing.
Why It’s a Nutritional Powerhouse for Livestock
PKC is high in protein and fibre, which makes it an effective and affordable feed component for a wide range of animals. It’s widely used in poultry rations, cattle feed, and increasingly in aquaculture, where farmers are looking for cost-effective alternatives to imported feed ingredients.
Who Buys Our PKC
Our Palm Kernel Cake goes out to livestock farmers, feed millers, and aquaculture operations who need a consistent, protein-rich ingredient they can build a feed formula around. For farmers trying to manage feed costs without compromising on nutrition, PKC is often the answer.
Cefaan Farms produces PKC to meet the nutritional requirements of poultry, cattle, and fish farming — ask us about supply for your operation.
