Use

Inclusion limit

Cattle: generally safe up to 15% of diet (NDDB 2012, cited in P-S17). Calf concentrates (under 5 months): max 10-15% (P-S17). Fish: generally 5-15% (P-S17). Layers: egg-laying decreases reported from 2.5% (P-S17).

Gossypol: monogastrics and young ruminants highly susceptible; mature ruminants may show reproductive effects (P-S17). Solvent-only extraction can leave much higher free gossypol (P-S17). Mould/ignition risk in storage; keep moisture 5-11% (P-S17).
