Enhancing Feed Energy Density with Reliable Feed-Grade Sunflower Oil
Feed-grade sunflower oil is a crude vegetable oil extracted from sunflower seed, prized in animal nutrition for its high energy content and rich linoleic acid profile. It is used across poultry, swine, ruminant and aquaculture feed to lift the energy value of rations and support essential fatty acid intake. Prime Elements specializes in sourcing and supplying feed-grade sunflower oil that meets the quality and feed-safety requirements of compound feed manufacturers and premix producers.
Consistent Quality and Performance
Each shipment we supply is tested for free fatty acid content, peroxide value and moisture, giving feed mills a stable, high-energy oil suited to consistent ration formulation. Our sourcing network spans Europe’s Black Sea crushing hubs, ensuring reliable access to feed-grade sunflower oil throughout the year.
Trusted Logistics Partner
We coordinate bulk liquid transport by road tanker, rail tank car and vessel to match order size, from full tanker loads to smaller flexitank shipments. Our logistics team manages loading, documentation and delivery scheduling so feed producers receive oil on time and in specification.
Compliance and Sustainability
Prime Elements sources feed-grade sunflower oil in line with the EU Feed Hygiene Regulation (EC 183/2005) and works with GMP+ certified suppliers, supporting full traceability from crushing plant to feed mill. We work with partners committed to responsible sourcing and safe handling throughout the supply chain.

- Poultry feed rations (layer and broiler diets)
- Swine feed formulations
- Ruminant feed supplementation
- Aquaculture feed (energy and essential fatty acid supply)
- Premix and concentrate manufacturing
- Blending with other feed fats and oils
Its high linoleic acid content and strong energy value make it an efficient way to raise ration energy density while supporting essential fatty acid intake.
