Cottonseed

The seed of the cotton plant which is separated from the cotton fiber during the ginning process. For each 100 pounds of fiber produced by cotton plants, approximately 140 pounds of cottonseed are produced. Approximately 5% of the total seed crop is reserved for planting; the remainder is used for feeding or as raw material for the cottonseed processing industry.
