Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE): A Sustainable and Cost-Effective Feed Ingredient for Livestock

🌾 Introduction: The Hidden Gem of the Palm Industry

Behind Indonesia’s massive palm oil production lies an underrated by-product — Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE).
What was once seen as waste is now one of the most valuable animal feed ingredients in the global livestock industry.

At Indo Palm Supply, we deliver high-quality, nutrient-rich PKE to buyers worldwide who demand consistency, nutrition, and sustainability.

🧪 What is Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE)?

PKE is the solid residue left after oil is extracted from the palm kernel.
It’s typically brown, coarse, and rich in fiber, making it ideal for ruminant feed (especially cattle and sheep).

Typical Specifications:

• Protein: 14–17%

• Fiber: 12–16%

• Fat: 8–10%

• Moisture: <10%

• Form: meal or pellets

These qualities make PKE a reliable energy source that supports healthy rumen function and milk production.

🐄 Why Farmers and Feed Manufacturers Love PKE

PKE is favored by dairy and beef farmers because it provides:

• Consistent energy for livestock

• Affordable nutrition compared to other imported feed ingredients

• Good digestibility when mixed with other roughage

• Stable shelf life for storage and transport

Countries like New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, and China rely heavily on PKE imports from Indonesia due to its cost efficiency and high availability.

🌍 Sustainability Benefits

PKE supports circular agriculture by turning palm waste into feed material — reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly livestock production.
