Coconut meal or Copra meal is a by product of the ripe fruit (nut) of the Coconut Palm.

Copra Meal is a highly digestible supplement with moderately high protein and energy values, with its energy being derived from its relatively high oil and fibre content and no carbohydrate it is a very safe product to feed to ruminants.

This nut is split and the kernel is removed and dried below 6% moisture. This is then called Copra Meal but it still contains oil. After pressing or extracting oil the remaining residue is called Coconut meal.

Copra contains less than 2% starch so does not cause starch related disorders such as trying up and laminitis.
