Rapeseed Meal
Rapeseed meal, called canola meal in North America, Australia and some other countries, is the by-product of the extraction of oil from rapeseed (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L. and Brassica juncea L., and their crosses). It is a protein-rich ingredient that is widely used to feed all classes of livestock.
Description
Rapeseed meal is the product of rapeseed processing after oil extraction with the use of additional treatment involving heat and humidity (toasting). The rapeseed processing employed at the factory is based on the fore-pressing/extraction method without the preliminary seed hull separation stage.
The rapeseed meal features has high general nutrient value and digestibility and therefore is a valuable source of premium quality feed protein and well-balanced amino acid supply. The bioavailability of the rapeseed protein is about 86%.
The addition of the rapeseed meal into animal feed diets is one of the key factors of animal breeding intensification, especially in the poultry and hog breeding industries.
