Castor de oiled cake (doc)
Castor de-oiled cake (DOC) is a natural byproduct obtained after castor oil is extracted from castor seeds. It is a major source of organic fertilizer for plants and a protein source for animal feed.
High in nutrients
Castor DOC is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, essential for plant growth. It also contains micronutrients like manganese, zinc, and copper.
Improves soil health
Castor DOC helps improve soil structure, increase water retention capacity, and promote beneficial microbial activity.
Organic fertilizer
Unlike chemical fertilizers, castor DOC is a natural and sustainable option for improving soil fertility.
Protein source for animals
While the oil-rich cake is toxic to animals, castor DOC, with most of the oil removed, can be a good protein source for cattle and poultry feed.
