Why All of the Hype About Feeding Canola Meal?

摘要

The U.S. dairy industry is the largest user of canola meal worldwide. A survey conducted in 2011 revealed that respondents believed canola meal provides good value, but they indicated that additional research was needed to better understand how to take advantage of this meal.Canola meal is a relatively new feed ingredient. It was developed in the 1970s to maintain the beneficial properties of rapeseed meal and to remove the anti-nutritional factors that were hampering the use of that meal by the livestock feeding industry. As a result, canola meal and its predecessor, rapeseed meal, are the second most widely traded oilseed meals in the world, as well as being Canada's most valuable crop (Casseus, 2009).
