Rapeseed Meal Feed
Nutritional value Rapeseed meal is high in protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. It contains about 40% protein and a balanced amino acid composition. In dairy cows, replacing soybean meal with rapeseed meal, maintained intake (with 20% rapeseed meal). Rapeseed meal is a suitable protein source for growing and finishing…

Rapeseeds are small and contain about 18-21% hulls, and the oil meal contains about 30% hulls. Thus rapeseed meal has a relatively high fibre content, crude fibre being between 10-18% of DM, which is higher than the crude fibre content of all types of soybean meals, but lower than that of other oil meals such as sunflower meal. Its lignin content is also high (about 10% of DM), whereas the lignin content of soybean meal is usually lower than 1%. The low lysine and high fibre content tends to limit the use of rapeseed meal in monogastric and fish species. Feeding pigs and poultry with rapeseed meal as their only source of supplementary protein often results in lower animal performance.
