Use of Copra Meal in Poultry and Ruminant Nutrition
Copra meal (CM) is an important feed ingredient and the by-product of the oil extraction from dried coconut kernels. This product, although copra meal has a moderate protein content (15-25%); because of a high cellulose content (11.63-16.00%) and some ...

Various levels of copra meal supplementation with β-Mannanase on growth performance, blood profile, nutrient digestibility, pork quality and economical analysis in growing-finishing pigs [PDF]
Background To reduce use of main feed ingredient like corn, soy bean meal (SBM) and wheat, alternative ingredients has been studied like copra meal (CM). Production amount of CM which has been high makes CM to be an alternative feed stuff.

Optimization of enzymatic hydrolysis of copra meal: compositions and properties of the hydrolysate. [PDF]
This study demonstrated that oligosaccharides from copra meal could be prepared by using a commercial enzyme preparation containing mannanase for use as a prebiotic. The conditions giving the highest hydrolysis rate of the copra meal by the enzyme were pH 4 and temperature of 40 °C with an enzyme to substrate ratio (E/S) of 1092.69 β-mannanase activity

Anti-inflammatory effects of mannanase-hydrolyzed copra meal in a porcine model of colitis. [PDF]
We evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of mannanase-hydrolyzed copra meal (MNB), including β-1,4-mannobiose (67.8%), in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced porcine model of intestinal inflammation. In the DSS-positive control (POS) and MNB treatment (MCM) groups, DSS was first administered to piglets via intragastric catheter for 5 days ...

Evaluation of Acute and Subchronic Oral Toxicity of Copra Meal Hydrolysate: A Novel Candidate for Prebiotic in Sprague Dawley Rats. [PDF]
Copra meal hydrolysate (CMH) with high protein and mannooligosaccharides (MOS) was derived by β‐mannanase hydrolysis. CMH has been shown to elicit health benefits via prebiotic properties. However, a systematic examination of its safety is required before effective utilization.
