About Maize Oil Cake
By-product of oil extraction from maize germs.
Nutritional value and use in livestock rations
Maize Oil Cake is a concentrate feed and a protein source in the Pakistan Feed Library. On average maize oil cake contains crude protein 19.3% of dry matter, metabolisable energy 2.8 Mcal/kg, TDN 77.2% of dry matter, NDF 43.8% of dry matter.
Protein concentrates raise the crude-protein content of a ration where forages alone are not enough. They are used in controlled amounts alongside energy feeds, forage and minerals, in line with the needs of the animals.
Nutrient values vary with variety, growing conditions, processing and storage, so treat the averages as a guide. Send us your ration details if you would like advice on using it in a TMR.
TMR Pakistan supplies related feed ingredients in bulk for farms and feed mills. See the matching products or contact us for a quotation.

- Literature values
- Laboratory analysis
- Calculated from lab data
SD = standard deviation DM = dry matter. Nutrients other than dry matter are expressed on a dry-matter basis. TDN = total digestible nutrients; ME, NEm, NEg, NEl and DE = metabolisable, net (maintenance / gain / lactation) and digestible energy.
