It has been recognized that gossypol has a limiting effect on the usage of cottonseed meal in nonruminant rations. Extensive research supported by practical experience has shown that cottonseed meal may be a major oilseed supplemental protein source in nonruminant rations when care is taken to accept and adjust for gossypol limitations. Scientifically derived gossypol limitations will not significantly restrict cottonseed meal usage in practical nonruminant rations.
