Is it feasible to use palm kernel meal to replace some corn in pig feed? How much can it specifically replace? What should be noted during use?
--------------------------------------
In theory, any ingredient can be substituted for another, as long as the usage amount is well controlled. The palm kernel meal mentioned by the original poster here is a protein feed, while corn is an energy feed. Pay attention to balancing the energy-to-protein ratio.
--------------------------------------
Hehehe, just pay attention to the usage amount. It is best that palm kernel meal does not exceed 3-5%.
--------------------------------------
Our users here are quite picky about color, so this cheap good stuff is not easy to use in pig feed.

Brother, did you get it wrong? Palm kernel meal is not a protein feed. It is classified as an energy feed, and its crude protein content is less than 20%.

When used in pelleted feed, is the color not very much affected?
