Niger Seeds

Niger Seeds

Niger Seeds (Guizotia abyssinica) are nutrient-rich oil seeds commonly used as high-energy feed for birds, poultry, and livestock. They are particularly valued for their high fat content, which provides concentrated energy, and for their protein and fiber, which support growth and overall health.

Niger seeds are widely included in poultry diets, birdseed mixes, and ruminant feed formulations. They improve feed palatability and promote healthy plumage in birds due to their rich nutrient and oil content. Our niger seeds are carefully cleaned and sorted to ensure premium quality, uniform size, and optimal nutritional value.
