Re: News - Potential for Gossypol Toxicity When Feeding Whole Cottonseed to Beef Cattle

A very bold and great scientific discuss. However, in tropical Africa especially Nigeria, cotton seed cake are processed and thereafter, included in the diet of monogastric animals especially poultry. With a high inclusion level, it has been discovered that cotton seed cake depresses fertility in breeder cocks. This finding from Gainesville therefore, corroborates the fact that cotton seed cake possesses some fertility depressing agents which should be looked at. Thank you so much.
