Cotton ginning is the process of separating cotton fibers from their seeds. This is an essential step in preparing cotton for textile production. The ginning process typically involves machines that efficiently remove the seeds while preserving the quality of the cotton fibers.
After ginning, the clean cotton fibers are baled and ready for further processing, such as spinning into yarn. The seeds, which are also a byproduct of ginning, can be used for various purposes, including producing cottonseed oil and animal feed. This process plays a crucial role in the cotton industry and the economy.
