Milk Thistle – A Valuable Resource for Livestock, Processing, and Crop Production

Milk thistle is a versatile oilseed crop widely used in animal husbandry, agricultural processing, and crop production. Due to its high content of biologically active compounds, natural antioxidants, and fatty acids, it serves as an essential feed additive, a raw material for oil production, and an effective soil-enriching plant.

ExportGrain Group offers bulk deliveries of milk thistle to processors, agricultural enterprises, and feed manufacturers. We guarantee stable supply volumes, strict quality control, and reliable delivery conditions, helping farms make the most efficient use of this valuable product.

Milk Thistle in Agriculture: Feed Value and Soil Use

Milk thistle is valued for its unique composition, making it highly demanded across multiple sectors of agribusiness. In livestock farming, it is used as a natural dietary supplement since it contains flavonoids, amino acids, and fiber that support the immune system and improve digestion in animals.

It is particularly beneficial for cattle, pigs, and poultry, helping improve liver health, normalize metabolism, and boost productivity. Regular inclusion of milk thistle meal in feed mixtures reduces liver strain in farm animals and enhances nutrient absorption.

In crop farming, milk thistle is often used as a green manure crop (cover crop), enriching the soil with nitrogen and organic matter while protecting it from erosion. This makes it a promising crop for farms practicing organic agriculture.

Processing of Milk Thistle and Its Products

Once processed, milk thistle yields several useful products that are widely applied in agriculture, animal feed, and food production. The main products include:

• Milk thistle meal – used in compound feeds to enrich animal diets
• Milk thistle oil – utilized in agriculture and food applications
• Pressed cake – an additional nutrient source in animal feed formulations

Milk thistle is often used in combination with other oil and feed crops, such as:
• Flax – widely used in feed production
• Rapeseed – common in both processing and livestock feeding
• Sunflower – a source of vegetable oil and feed supplements
