Composition and Diet Formulation
Typical chemical composition:
- Typical chemical composition of canola meal
- Typical chemical composition of expeller canola meal
For formulating ruminant diets:
- Common program model values for canola meal (Excel spreadsheet)
- Purchase a subscription to AMTS and NDS feed nutrition databases to ensure you prepare your ruminants supplementation correctly
- General ruminant values (JPG file), which may be helpful for proprietary formulation programs
Find more information in the Canola Meal Feeding Guide for ruminant and monogastric animals.
