Long Answer

Solution

Oilcake is primarily used for the following two main purposes:

  1. Nutritious Livestock Feed: Because of its high protein, mineral, and residual fat content, it is widely used as a high-energy feed for cattle, poultry, and fish to increase milk supply and animal health.
  2. Natural Organic Manure: It is applied directly to agricultural fields as a fertiliser because it decomposes and enriches the soil with critical nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and organic carbon, hence increasing overall soil fertility.
