The interior of the seed, when fresh, is filled with "milk," which is used as an article of diet for human beings.

Cocoanut by-products have a light brown to reddish color and a taste and odor resembling those of the hazlenut. After prolonged storage they easily become rancid and brittle or crumbly and then have a scratchy unpleasant taste.

They contain about 18 to 24 per cent of crude protein. The cake contains 16.3 per cent of digestible albumen and 10 to 12 per cent of fat with a high melting point. The starch value of the cake is 76.5 per cent.

They are used in the same manner as the palmseed by-products already discussed. Spoiled cocoanut cake, like all decomposed oil byproducts, will cause poisoning. Cocoanut by-products are used mainly as feed for milk cows, about 4 pounds per head per day.

Sesame by-products. —Origin: Sesamum indicum, resembling fox glove in appearance (Fig. 54).

Fresh cakes have a light yellowish or light green color and pleasant taste and are odorless. They become rancid and moldy very easily and should therefore be stored with great care. They are characterized by their high content of phosphoric acid. The cake is usually guaranteed to contain 42 per cent of crude protein and 8 per cent of fat. The digestible albumen content is about 35.5 per cent and the starch value 79 per cent.

Animals like the cakes, and as a rule they are wholesome and agree well with them. Fed in large quantity they impart a soft character to the butter. Daily rations are the same as those given for peanut byproducts. According to Hansson and others, they increase the quantity of the milk yielded but reduce the percentage of fat.

Poisoning has also been repeatedly observed following feeding on sesame cake. Thus, Deyerling reported an instance in which 111 head of cattle showed symptoms of poisoning fifteen minutes after feeding on sesame cake. The symptoms were cough, depression, trembling, salivation, tympanitis and fever. Recovery set in one and a half hours later.

Sunflower seed cake. —Origin: Sunflower, Helianthus annuus. This usually contains a large percentage of seed hulls (10 to 15 per cent) and foreign admixtures, weed seeds, earth particles, etc. It is usually guaranteed to contain 38 per cent of crude protein and 12 per cent of fat with a rather low melting point. The digestibility of this material is about the same as that of other oil seed by-products made from the whole seed. Sunflower seed cake is characterized by its good keeping qualities.

Poppy seed by-products. —Origin: Poppy. Papaver soinniferum. This product is whitish gray, yellowish red, dark brown, dark blue or black in color and has poor keeping qualities. It contains 35 per cent of crude protein, of which 26.5 per cent is digestible albumen, and 12 per cent crude fat. The starch value is 66 per cent. Narcotic principles occur
