Virtual International is a leading global supplier of Rapeseed Meal (also known as Canola Meal), a highly valued and nutrient-dense protein source derived from the processing of rapeseed after oil extraction. This ingredient is a cornerstone in modern animal nutrition, offering a significant amount of protein (typically 36-38%), a well-balanced amino acid profile, and valuable minerals. Our Rapeseed Meal is processed from low-glucosinolate varieties, making it a safe, palatable, and highly digestible feed ingredient for a wide range of animal species. It serves as an excellent, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to other protein sources like soybean meal, supporting optimal growth, health, and productivity in livestock and poultry. We guarantee a consistent supply of superior-grade Rapeseed Meal with efficient and timely delivery, empowering the livestock, poultry, and aquaculture industries with a reliable and nutritious feed solution.
