Research

The canola industry is investing in research that increases our understanding of the value of canola in diets for livestock animals. Much of the research highlighted below is funded through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s AgriScience Cluster Program, the Canola Council of Canada, Alberta Canola, SaskCanola and Manitoba Canola Growers. The importance of canola meal as a feed ingredient is also recognized by other funding bodies, and these results are shown as supplemental information.
