This paper is divided in three components: 1) Comparing the omasal and the reticular sampling techniques; 2) Elaborating on the dual-flow continuous culture system; and 3) Summarizing recent studies on canola meal as the main protein supplement for lactating dairy cows. The goal is to illustrate some peculiarities among these three different methodologies and to point out recent findings on can...

In this study, antioxidative activities of aqueous extract of Biarum bovei (BBE) in stabilizing of canola oil during storage at 20°C was evaluated. For this purpose, the total phenolic (TP), flavonoids (TFC), and tocopherol content (TTC) of the extract were determined and β-carotene bleaching system was used to assess the antioxidant efficacy of BBE. The amount of TP, TFC, and TTC in BBE indica...

Yellow-seeded Brassica juncea is a novel canola species targeted to grow in the southern Canadian prairies where thermotolerance, disease resistance, and adaptation to dry agronomic conditions are required. The support of its cultivation needs nutritional evaluation of its coproduct. The B. juncea canola meal (CM) contains less fiber than conventional, dark-seeded Brassica napus CM but also sli...

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with diode array detection (DAD) was used to determine the total phenolics, including sinapic acid derivatives in canola. Ten Western Canadian canola seeds, six other commodity canola seeds, their corresponding press cakes and meals were analyzed. Seeds of European 00 rapeseed and Brassica Juncea (Indian mustard) were included for comparis...

Cold-pressed canola cake is a coproduct of biodiesel production that contains more residual oil than expeller-pressed and solvent-extracted canola meal. Cold-pressed canola cake might be an attractive feedstuff for swine due to local availability from small plants. However, the nutritional quality and content of anti-nutritional factors of cold-pressed canola cake are poorly defined and vary wi...

several methods are used to decrease seed drying time and enhance the quality of dried seeds. influidization methods, good aeration occurs during the drying process. in this research, conditioned seedswith 20% d.b. moisture content were dried at 30°, 40°, 50° and 60°c using three bed conditions (fixed,minimum fluidized, fluidized). all experiments were done using a batch-type fluidized bed drye...
