Cottonseed meal protein content is approximately which percentage?

Cottonseed meal protein content is approximately which percentage?

• A. 44.8% CP
• B. 39% CP
• C. 49.6% CP
• D. 50% CP

Answer: (A)

Cottonseed meal is a high-protein byproduct whose crude protein content after oil extraction typically lands in the mid-40s range. A value of 44.8% CP fits squarely in that common range used for feed formulation, making it the most representative estimate. The other numbers are either below or above the usual range seen for standard cottonseed meal, so they are less accurate for typical samples.
