Copra meal is a coproduct of the production of coconut oil. Although the amino acid profile and digestibility in copra meal are less favorable than in soybean meal, it can provide significant protein and energy in swine diets and may be used to reduce feed costs. 4, record 1, English, - copra%20meal

Copra (or "coprah") is the dried coconut meat, but most of the documents consulted do not really make a distinction between "coconut oil" and "copra oil". Thus we may consider the difference (when necessary) from a technical (but not chemical) point of view: grades, refining processes, etc. 5, record 2, English, - coconut%20oil
