This study compared the nutritional value of canola (B. napa) and mustard (B. hirta) press cakes obtained from the biodiesel industry as ingredients for use in diets fed to broiler chickens. A total of 210, one-day old, male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of seven dietary treatments. The control diet was based on wheat and soybean meal and contained 15% canola meal. For the experi...

This review provides an overview of the published data on the canola meal and its suitability for duck as an alternative plant-origin protein source to soybean meal. Canola meal is a legume origin protein source containing comparable amino acid profile to soybean meal and rich in essential minerals and vitamins. Nonetheless, it is known to contain less in energy content than soybean meal. Facto...

True ileal lysine digestibilities were determined using the homoarginine (HA) method in casein-, barley-, canola meal-, and barley-canola meal-based diets fed to growing pigs. Four Yorkshire barrows (25 to 49 kg BW) equipped with ileal T-cannulas were fed one of the diets according to a 4 x 4 Latin square design. All diets, except for the barley diet, were formulated to be similar in DE:CP rati...

Canola meal is derived from the crushing of canola seed for oil extraction. Although it has been used in swine diets for a long time, its inclusion levels have been limited due to concerns regarding its nutritive value primarily arising from results of early studies showing negative effects of dietary canola meal inclusion in swine diets. Such effects were attributable to the presence of anti-n...

An experiment was conducted to deter­ mine apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) by grow­ ing pigs of P in canola meal, 00­rapeseed meal, and 00­rapeseed expellers. Canola meal and 00­rapeseed meal are the coproducts produced after the residual oil has been solvent extracted from the prepressed canola seeds and 00­rapeseeds, respectively, wh...

A total of 1905 mixed sex day old broiler chickens were reared in environmentally controlled house for 5 weeks to study the production performance of chicks by feeding different levels of canola meal in their diets. The chickens were randomly allocated to five dietary treatment groups ( A, B, C, D and E ) having three replicates of 127 birds in each group. Groups A, B, C, D and E were fed pelle...

This study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of canola meal treated and untreated with 0.5% urea and microwave using nylon bags technique in Gizel sheep. Two fistulaed Gizel sheep with average BW 45±2 kg were used in a complete randomized design. The treatments were as following; A: canola meal, B: canola meal treated with 0.5% urea, C: canola meal treated with microwave. The rum...

There are limited data on the DE and ME values and the digestibility of fiber in canola meal, rapeseed meal, and rapeseed expellers fed to pigs. This experiment was conducted to measure the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy, ADF, and NDF and to calculate DE and ME values in canola meal, 00-rapeseed meal, and 00-rapeseed expellers fed to growing pigs. Twenty-three barrows (init...

Present study investigated the effects of dietary increasing levels of solventextracted canola meal (CM) as a substitute for soybean meal as an energy and amino acid source in finishing pigs. A total of 192 finishing pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc; initial body weight of 48.62 ± 3 kg) were randomly allotted to 4 treatments on the basis of BW. There were 4 replicate pens in each treatment wi...

Canola production in Australia has increased dramatically leading to an increase in canola meal. Limits have been placed on the intake of canola meal as an animal feed due to its high levels of anti-nutritional components. Sinapine, one such component, is the major phenolic compound found in canola meal. Previous studies have suggested that sinapine concentrations may be lowered through a breed...
