Castor meal is a nitrogen-rich by-product obtained after the extraction of castor oil from castor seeds. It is widely valued as an organic fertilizer due to its high nutrient content and natural pest-repellent properties, helping improve soil fertility and crop yield. In controlled and treated forms, castor meal is also used as a component in animal feed, providing protein and energy. Its dual role in agriculture — enriching soils and supporting livestock nutrition — makes it a versatile, sustainable, and cost-effective resource for both farming and feed industries.
