How much cold pressed canola meal can we use in layer diets? – July, 2019 M. Bhulyan and R.A. Swick
Canola meal has been available for the layer feed industry in Australia for over 30 years. However, very little has been used due to the concerns of “fishy taint” in eggs. The authors demonstrate that this may no longer be an issue.
Canola in Poultry Diets – Dr. Jacquie Jacob, University of Kentucky
Canola is a variety of rapeseed that has an oil low in glucosinolates and that produces a meal that is low in eruric acid. The name “canola” was coined to distinguish the variety from rapeseed, though in Europe canola is often referred to as “double-zero” rapeseed. Canola meal is a by-product of the oil extraction process. In oil production, the majority of canola is solvent extracted. In contrast, the extraction method that yields double-pressed canola meal is mechanical, a requirement for organic feedstuffs. Mechanical extraction is not as efficient as solvent extraction, so the meal produced from double-pressed canola is higher in fat than the meal produced by solvent extraction.
Unlocking the full power of canola meal – July 2015
A new era of opportunity has emerged for Canadian canola meal as a premium, highly sought feed ingredient across livestock sectors around the world. One of the keys to unlock its full potential lies in groundbreaking scientific advances to understand and capture the hidden nutritive power of dietary fiber, said Dr. Bogdan Slominski of the University of Manitoba
Replacing supplemental oil with full fat canola seed in broiler diets – Bob Swick and Reza Barekatain
Virtually all modern commercial broiler diets are supplemented with liquid oil or fat. This provides energy, improves the absorption of fat soluble vitamins, provides essential fatty acids and acts as a lubricant and dust control agent in feed processing. There has been renewed interest in the use of full fat oilseed meals to replace a portion of added feed grade fat as the price dynamics between oilseeds, protein meals and extracted oils has changed due to increased oil demand from the biofuel sector.
Scientific breakthroughs could make Canadian canola meal a world’s favourite – July 14, 2015
Canada’s canola meal could become a popular choice of feed ingredient worldwide if critical scientific approaches could obtain the undiscovered nutrient power of fiber, according to Dr. Bogdan Slominski of the University of Manitoba.
