Feed Ingredients: Nutrient composition of canola meal

Thanks for this. I hope studies can be extend to other type of poultry meal.

Fernando; Canola seed in Canada is processed under the 2 main extraction methods depending on the crushing capacity and market targets, one method is under mechanical pressing with extrusion assistance and chemical extraction using hexane as a solvent. Both methods produce high protein meals with different characteristics in terms of residual oil and crude protein content. The crude protein content you mentioned at the beginning with a range of 40-43% on a dry matter basis sounds about right, however, the fat content range between 2.6-4.3% is not quite common on this industry. Meals mechanically extracted will have between 5-8% residual oil and solvent extracted meals will have 1% or less residual oil, as you can see there is no way to have a commercial meal with a 3% residual oil in average unless the process has been manipulated on purpose or the analyzed samples were mixed up before testing which obviously will reflect results that are not valid or realistic. Thank you. Enrique Diaz.

This is an interesting information on canola seed by products,but something still bothered me why different nutritional values for all the feedstuff I.e different tables for feed formation. Can you suggest/advice on this.Thanks.
