Sunflower Rolled 15kg

Sunflower seeds are valued for their oil content, which accounts for about 50% of the seed dry weight. Regular sunflower oil is characterized by a high concentration of linoleic acid (62-75%), followed by oleic acid (16-27%). Saturated fatty acids do not amount to more than 15% of the fatty acid content. The oil of high-oleic sunflower varieties contains more than 80% oleic acid. Mid-oleic varieties (65%) have also been developed. The rest of the dry matter consists of protein (14-20%) and fiber (NDF 18-34%, ADF 15-25%, lignin 5-8%). Sunflower protein is less rich in lysine (about 4% protein) than soybean protein but has relatively high amounts of sulfur-containing amino acids (1.9 and 2.2% protein for cystine and methionine respectively). Suitable for all livestock.
