Extruded linseed and linseed oil as alternative to soybean meal and soybean oil in diets for fattening lambs

Methane output and diet digestibility in response to feeding dairy cows crude linseed, extruded linseed, or linseed oil.

This experiment studied the effect of 3 forms of presentation of linseed fatty acids (FA) on methane output using the sulfur hexafluoride tracer technique, total tract digestibility, and performance of dairy cows. Eight multiparous lactating Holstein cows (initial milk yield 23.4 +/- 2.2 kg/d) were assigned to 4 dietary treatments in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design: a control diet (C) co...

Soybean oil and linseed oil supplementation affect profiles of ruminal microorganisms in dairy cows.

The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in ruminal microorganisms and fermentation parameters due to dietary supplementation of soybean and linseed oil alone or in combination. Four dietary treatments were tested in a Latin square designed experiment using four primiparous rumen-cannulated dairy cows. Treatments were control (C, 60 : 40 forage to concentrate) or C with 4% soybean oi...

Linseed and Linseed Oil: Health Benefits- a Review

Linseed is an important oil crop cultivated worldwide for oil and fiber. Linseed oil has health benefits and disease preventive properties on coronary heart disease, some kinds of cancer, neurological and hormonal disorders. Linseed Linum usitattissimum family Linaceae) has been traditionally used as functional food. Linseed oil is the richest source of ALA, which makes about 55–60% of total fa...

Replacing Conventionally Processed Soybean Meal with Extruded/Expelled Soybean Meal in Swine Diets

Sperm Oil Replacements from Selectively Hydrogenated Soybean and Linseed Esters: Special Lubricants

Soybean and linseed oils were selectively hydrogenated with copper-on-silica gel catalyst. The linolenate content of the oils was reduced to diene and monoene with no appreciable increase in saturates. Hydrogenated soybean oils contained 68-76% monoene, 11-18% diene, 0% conjugated diene and triene, 1-6% conjugatable diene, 0-0.3% conjugatable triene, and 23-40% isolated trans double bonds. Hydr...
