The following parameters: proximate composition, mineral composition and anti-nutritional factors were used to study the nutritive value of raw and differently processed kapok seed meal. The raw and differently processed kapok seed were sundried, milled and chemically analysed. The result of the proximate composition showed that crude protein (CP) content of raw and processed kapok seed meal ranged from 22.59±0.04 to 34.82±0.33%. Ether extracts (EE) varied from 6.56±0.23 to 10.05±0.06%, while the crude fibre (CF) ranged between 9.28±0.89 and 18.333±0.33. The metabolisable energy of cooked and fermented kapok seed were significant (P<0.01) higher than raw, toasted and soaked kapok seed meal. The result also revealed that minerals composition (both micro and macro) of cooked kapok seed meal were significant (p<0.01) higher than raw and other processed kapok seed meals. Furthermore, cooked kapok seed meal recorded significant (p<0.01) lower values of anti- nutritional factors in all the parameters measured, higher value of crude protein, minerals and appreciable amount of metabolisable energy. The study therefore recommends cooked kapok seed meal for livestock ratio due its higher value of crude protein, comparable metabolisable energy, appreciable macro and micro nutrients and higher percentage reduction in anti-nutritional factors
