A Texas A&M researcher is developing cottonseed varieties with lower gossypol, a toxin that limits seed use in feed and food. Cotton produces about 1.5 pounds of seed per pound of fiber.
The article discusses whether the seed could become a higher-value food and feed source for livestock and people.
Gossypol-free cottonseed would expand feed uses for cottonseed meal, but commercial availability is still years away, so near-term price impact is minimal.
