Canola meal can play a key role in maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet for all types of poultry. In addition to its high protein content and excellent amino acid profile, canola meal is a great alternative or complement to other protein ingredients.
Recent academic studies confirm that canola meal can provide consistent value for poultry producers. This value comes from several key attributes, including:
- Excellent amino acid profile and availability: closely aligned with the nutritional needs of all types of poultry.
- High-value sulfur-containing amino acids: essential for growth, feather development, immune function and overall health.
- Highly cost effective: especially in diets formulated on a digestible (standardized ileal digestion) amino acid basis.
- Supports gut health: greater support for gut integrity relative to other vegetable proteins.
- Supports growth and egg production: Canola meal has no feeding restrictions and can be fed to all classes of poultry.
- Additional dietary energy from expeller-processed canola meal: supporting inclusion in energy-rich diets.
- Enhanced nutrient absorption: when paired with carbohydrate-digesting enzymes used extensively by the poultry feed industry.
- Accurate nutrient data: results of extensive analytical and digestion research from the scientific community on canola meal composition means the meal can be used with confidence.
- Accurate nutrient data: extensive analytical and digestion research from the scientific community confirms the nutritional value of canola meal and solidifies its reputation as a trusted feed ingredient.
