Definition:
(n.) The dried meat of the cocoanut, from which cocoanut oil is expressed.
Example Sentences:

(2) Feed intake was reduced when 20 and 30% levels of copra cake were included in the diet.
(3) Proportional reductions in associated drinking-nut fluid and in mature "copra nut" meat from the same palm also occurred.
(4) Without copra, outer islanders will be reduced to a subsistence survival, eked from the land, supplemented by fishing and likely made impossible by tidal inundations.
(5) Major crops, including edible nuts, copra and root crops, are susceptible to Aspergillus growth and therefore potential contamination with aflatoxin.
(6) The effects of including copra meals from different sources in nutritionally-balanced broiler chick diets were compared.
(7) At these chlorine gas treatment levels, extension of the exposure period of the corn meal and copra meal beyond 2.5 hr, and the peanuts beyond 1 day, did not increase the percentage degradation of AFB1.
(8) The diets were basically composed of beet pulp and equilibrated in protein either with copra meal or with urea.
(9) The copra cake replaced an equal weight of soyabean-maize meal in the diet.
(10) More than 75% degradation of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was achieved after treatment of AFB1-spiked corn meal, spiked copra meal (the residue of the kiln-dried coconut kernels after mechanical expulsion of oil) and peanuts artificially infected with Aspergillus parasiticus, with 11, 16 and 35 mg chlorine gas per g meal or peanuts, respectively.
(11) The mutagenicity of chlorine-treated copra meal and peanuts spiked with AFB1 was greatly reduced compared with untreated controls, as determined in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 in the presence of rat liver S-9 mix; the reduction in mutagenicity was found to be highly correlated with the reduction in AFB1 levels.
