Meals or Schroth (it. Schrott, the basic meaning - small pieces, trimming) - concentrated feed; byproduct of oil extraction production. It obtained after extracting oil from oilseeds organic solvents in stills and evaporators. Depending on the raw materials distinguish sunflower, soy, rapeseed, mustard, cottonseed, castor, hemp and others. Sunflower meal - a valuable high-protein feed product. On the content of raw protein can distinguish two types of meal: high protein and low protein. There are two approaches to the definition of indicators such as crude protein, fiber, fat. On the territory of the former Soviet Union are still operating standards for which these figures are determined based on the dry substance. Labs of most other countries define them in the raw material. The values obtained with the two approaches differ from one another.
