Potential game changer - palm kernel made into chicken feed


Sime Darby Plantations head of downstream operations Haris Arshad notes that the dietary requirements for the feed of ruminants, like cattle, and poultry are quite different.

PETALING JAYA: Sime Darby Plantation Sdn Bhd has taken its first step into the poultry feed business with an innovative system that processes a by-product of palm kernel oil into a high quality ingredient to be used in chicken feed.

While the company has been exporting the by-product, called palm kernel cake (PKC), to Europe for years, the commodity has traditionally been used mainly in cattle feed.
