# 1 Premium Cassava Flour for Animal Feed – High-Energy, Safe & Nutritious
Short Description
Cassava flour is a naturally derived ingredient made from freshly harvested cassava roots. After harvesting, the roots are peeled, dried, and milled into a fine powder that is rich in carbohydrates and low in fiber. This makes it an excellent energy source in livestock feeds, particularly in poultry, swine, and cattle rations.
Cassava itself is one of the most widely grown root crops worldwide, especially in tropical regions. When properly processed into flour, it becomes a safe and valuable feed ingredient.

Key Benefits of Using Cassava Flour in Livestock Diets
Energy Source for Poultry and Swine
Poultry diets enriched with cassava flour can improve energy availability while maintaining performance. This is especially useful where traditional energy sources like broken maize are expensive or scarce.
Ruminant Feed Application
Cattle and goats benefit from cassava flour’s high digestibility and low lignin content. When blended with protein ingredients, it supports steady growth and feed conversion.
Improved Feed Conversion Efficiency
Across multiple livestock classes, combining cassava flour with balanced protein and mineral premixes yields high feed conversion ratios (FCR), meaning more weight gain per kilogram of feed consumed.
Safe and Quality-Assured Processing
CalFeeds ensures that cassava flour meets stringent safety and quality standards. Proper processing removes harmful cyanogenic compounds that raw cassava naturally contains. Quality control includes:
Moisture content control for shelf stability
Particle size monitoring for consistency
Cyanide level testing for feed safety

Nutritional Profile of Cassava Flour
| Component | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Metabolizable Energy | 2,800 – 3,200 kcal/kg |
| Crude Protein | 2% – 4% |
| Crude Fiber | ≤ 4% |
| Moisture | ≤ 12% |
| Cyanide | ≤ Safe Feed Threshold |
This profile makes cassava flour an excellent energy component in compounded feed mixes rather than a standalone protein source.
How to Use Cassava Flour in Feed Mixes
Poultry Feed
Blend cassava flour with corn, soybean meal, and poultry premix. Typical inclusion rates vary by production goals (broilers vs. layers), but 10%–30% of total formulation is common where energy costs are high.
Swine Feed
Swine diets can use cassava flour as a partial substitute for maize, taking advantage of its high digestible carbohydrate content.
Ruminant Feed
When pelleted with forage by-products and protein meals, cassava flour enhances digestibility without upsetting rumen balance.
