ABSTRACT:
A process of treating whole cottonseed to improve the handleability and digestibility of the cottonseed is provided. In general, the process comprises the steps of: (a) adjusting the pH to equal or greater than eight of an aqueous composition having a sugar concentration of at least 5 percent by weight; and (b) applying the aqueous composition to whole cottonseed. According to another aspect of the invention, the process further comprises the step of drying the whole cottonseed after applying the aqueous composition. According to a modified process of treating whole cottonseed to improve the handleability and digestibility of the cottonseed, the process comprises the steps of: (a) applying an aqueous sugar composition having a sugar concentration of at least 5 percent by weight to the whole cottonseed; and (b) applying a basic aqueous solution having a pH equal to or greater than eight to the whole cottonseed. According to yet another aspect of the invention, the treated whole cottonseed product of the process is used as a new feed ingredient for animal feed, particularly a ruminant.
