Autumn

Autumn, also known as fall in North American English, is one of the four temperate seasons on Earth.

See Cottonseed meal and Autumn

B vitamins

B vitamins are a class of water-soluble vitamins that play important roles in cell metabolism and synthesis of red blood cells.

See Cottonseed meal and B vitamins

Blood plasma

Blood plasma is a light amber-colored liquid component of blood in which blood cells are absent, but which contains proteins and other constituents of whole blood in suspension.

See Cottonseed meal and Blood plasma

By-product

A by-product or byproduct is a secondary product derived from a production process, manufacturing process or chemical reaction; it is not the primary product or service being produced.

See Cottonseed meal and By-product

Cellulose

Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.

See Cottonseed meal and Cellulose

Cotton

Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae.

See Cottonseed meal and Cotton

Cotton gin

A cotton gin—meaning "cotton engine"—is a machine that quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from their seeds, enabling much greater productivity than manual cotton separation.

See Cottonseed meal and Cotton gin

Cottonseed oil

Cottonseed oil is cooking oil from the seeds of cotton plants of various species, mainly Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium herbaceum, that are grown for cotton fiber, animal feed, and oil.

See Cottonseed meal and Cottonseed oil

Cyclopropane fatty acid

Cyclopropane fatty acids (CPA) are a subgroup of fatty acids that contain a cyclopropane group.

See Cottonseed meal and Cyclopropane fatty acid

Fodder

Fodder, also called provender, is any agricultural foodstuff used specifically to feed domesticated livestock, such as cattle, rabbits, sheep, horses, chickens and pigs.

See Cottonseed meal and Fodder

Gossypol

Gossypol is a natural phenol derived from the cotton plant (genus Gossypium).

See Cottonseed meal and Gossypol

Hay

Hay is grass, legumes, or other herbaceous plants that have been cut and dried to be stored for use as animal fodder, either for large grazing animals raised as livestock, such as cattle, horses, goats, and sheep, or for smaller domesticated animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Cottonseed meal and hay are fodder.

See Cottonseed meal and Hay

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ found in most animals.

See Cottonseed meal and Heart

Lignin

Lignin is a class of complex organic polymers that form key structural materials in the support tissues of most plants.

See Cottonseed meal and Lignin

Liver

The liver is a major metabolic organ exclusively found in vertebrate animals, which performs many essential biological functions such as detoxification of the organism, and the synthesis of proteins and various other biochemicals necessary for digestion and growth.

See Cottonseed meal and Liver

Lysine

Lysine (symbol Lys or K) is an α-amino acid that is a precursor to many proteins.

See Cottonseed meal and Lysine

Monogastric

A monogastric organism has a simple single-chambered stomach (one stomach).

See Cottonseed meal and Monogastric

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol N and atomic number 7.

See Cottonseed meal and Nitrogen

Organic fertilizer

Organic fertilizers are fertilizers that are naturally produced. Cottonseed meal and Organic fertilizer are organic fertilizers.

See Cottonseed meal and Organic fertilizer

Ovary

The ovary is a gonad in the female reproductive system that produces ova.

See Cottonseed meal and Ovary

Poultry

Poultry are domesticated birds kept by humans for the purpose of harvesting animal products such as meat, eggs or feathers.

See Cottonseed meal and Poultry

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See Cottonseed meal and Protein

Ruminant

Ruminants are herbivorous grazing or browsing artiodactyls belonging to the suborder Ruminantia that are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, principally through microbial actions.

See Cottonseed meal and Ruminant

Sawdust

Sawdust (or wood dust) is a by-product or waste product of woodworking operations such as sawing, sanding, milling and routing.

See Cottonseed meal and Sawdust

Straw

Straw is an agricultural byproduct consisting of the dry stalks of cereal plants after the grain and chaff have been removed.

See Cottonseed meal and Straw

Woodchips

Woodchips are small- to medium-sized pieces of wood formed by cutting or chipping larger pieces of wood such as trees, branches, logging residues, stumps, roots, and wood waste.

See Cottonseed meal and Woodchips
