Meal, the coarse residue obtained after oil is removed from various oilseeds, is quite rich in crude protein content, which makes it a staple of animal nutrition. Particularly the protein and mineral rich meals of Soybean, Sunflower, Flax, Canola and Safflower are important sources of animal feed.
When oil is extracted from oilseeds, what remains is a protein-rich co-product that the livestock and aquaculture feed industry depends on at scale. These meals — the compressed residue left after mechanical pressing or solvent extraction — carry concentrated crude protein, amino acids, minerals, and fibre that make them indispensable ingredients in compound feed formulations worldwide. At Avis Golden Oil Factory, we supply four oilseed meal types sourced from Ukrainian and regional agricultural production: soybean meal, sunflower seed meal, safflower meal, and linseed meal.
Each of these products serves a different nutritional function in feed formulation, and each carries a different price point and availability profile. Understanding the differences is what allows buyers — feed manufacturers, livestock operators, and importers — to make sourcing decisions that actually serve their animals and their margins.
Soybean meal is the benchmark protein ingredient in global animal nutrition. With crude protein content typically reaching 44–48% in solvent-extracted product, it delivers more digestible protein per kilogram than any other widely traded meal. Buyers looking to buy soybean meal for poultry, swine, or aquaculture feed will find it offers the most complete amino acid profile of the four, including high lysine content which most grain-based diets are deficient in. Soybean meal for sale through Avis Golden Oil is available for bulk purchase with documentation on origin, protein content, and urease activity.
Sunflower seed meal is the practical alternative for operations where soybean meal feed costs are a pressure point. Bulk sunflower meal typically carries 28–36% crude protein depending on whether the hulls are fully or partially removed, with a higher fibre content than soybean. It performs well in ruminant diets — cattle and sheep tolerate the fibre fraction well — and is widely used in combined feed production across European and Middle Eastern markets where sunflower animal feed has a long established role.
Safflower meal is a less commonly traded product but a nutritionally interesting one. Crude protein ranges from 20% to 40% depending on processing method and hull inclusion. Safflower meal is used in poultry and ruminant feeds and represents an economical option in markets where the raw material is locally available. For buyers in regions where safflower cultivation overlaps with their sourcing geography, it can reduce landed cost compared to importing soybean meal from more distant origins.
Linseed meal — the co-product of flaxseed oil extraction — offers a different value proposition: moderate protein content (around 30–36%) combined with residual omega-3 fatty acids from alpha-linolenic acid retained after pressing. It is used in dairy cattle and laying hen rations where omega-3 enrichment of the end product is commercially valuable, and in equine nutrition where its mucilaginous properties support digestive function.
All four meal products are available for bulk purchase through Avis Golden Oil Factory. Pricing is volume-dependent and quoted individually based on product type, grade, packaging format, and delivery destination. We export to Gulf, European, and African markets from our Ukrainian base, with over 5,880 containers shipped to date.
