Abstract

Palm kernel cake (PKC) and palm press fibre (PPF) from the oil palm milling industry have been subjected to intensive studies in the ruminants in Malaysia. PKC and PPF represent 12 and 5% of the fresh fruit bunch. The PKC is obtained by solvent or expeller processes. Expeller PKC contained: 90% DM, 4.1% ash, 15.6% fibre, 8% fat, 12.9% protein and 15.82 MJ GE/kg. Pelleting or supplementation by molasses or carbohydrate rich sources improved the PKC intake by buffaloes and cattle. Higher oil and shell constituents of expeller PKC have been the contributing factors in intake reduction. Increased intake from feeding deshelled PKC was observed in beef animals.
