This study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of canola meal treated and untreated with 0.5% urea and microwave using nylon bags technique in Gizel sheep. Two fistulaed Gizel sheep with average BW 45±2 kg were used in a complete randomized design. The treatments were as following; A: canola meal, B: canola meal treated with 0.5% urea, C: canola meal treated with microwave. The rum...

In order to evaluation of influence of sulphur fertilizer on grain yield and the some of physiological indices of canola, an split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted in Research Farm Islamic Azad University, Ardabil branch in 2007. Factors were: sulfur fertilizer at four levels (0 as control, 25, 50 and 75 kg S/ha) in the main plots and canola cultivars at t...

Present study was designed to estimate the coagulation parameters like prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). In this study, coagulation parameters were compared in animals fed on low and high conc. of canola oil with that of canola supplemented with atherogenic element. For this purpose, sixty albino rats were selected and divided into five different groups wit...

Canola breeding program undertaken to improve meal quality has led to the development of canola quality (i.e., low glucosinolate, low erucic acid) form of B. juncea, a mustard species known for its pure yellow seed coat. Under Western Canadian conditions, B. juncea suffers less from heat and drought stress and matures earlier than B. napus, Such characteristics are the basis for high yields of ...

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) show beneficial effects in cardiovascular disease, IgA, and diabetic nephropathy; however, the mechanisms underlying these benefits are unknown. The study was performed in male Sprague-Dawley rats randomly divided into four treatment groups: nondiabetic (ND), streptozotocin-induced diabetic (D), diabetic and fed a high n-3 PUFA diet (D+canola), and...

Field trials of transgenic crops may result in unintentional transgene flow to compatible crop, native, and weedy species. Hybridization outside crop fields may create novel forms with potential negative outcomes for wild and weedy plant populations. We report here the outcome of large outdoor mesocosm studies with canola (Brassica napus), transgenic canola, a sexually compatible weed B. rapa, ...

An experiment was conducted to deter­ mine apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) by grow­ ing pigs of P in canola meal, 00­rapeseed meal, and 00­rapeseed expellers. Canola meal and 00­rapeseed meal are the coproducts produced after the residual oil has been solvent extracted from the prepressed canola seeds and 00­rapeseeds, respectively, wh...

The study aims to investigate the effect of microwave frying power and time on 3-MCPD glycidyl ester contents oils absorbed by fried potatoes. For this purpose, potato sticks were with three different refined vegetable (canola, corn, sunflower) at two settings (350 W, 700 W) for periods (3 5 minutes). oil samples evaluated their content using alkali transesterification DGF Standard Method C-VI ...

Present study investigated the effects of dietary increasing levels of solventextracted canola meal (CM) as a substitute for soybean meal as an energy and amino acid source in finishing pigs. A total of 192 finishing pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc; initial body weight of 48.62 ± 3 kg) were randomly allotted to 4 treatments on the basis of BW. There were 4 replicate pens in each treatment wi...

Allelopathy is one crop attribute that could be incorporated in an integrated weed management system as a supplement to synthetic herbicides. However, the underlying principles of crop allelopathy and secondary metabolite production are still poorly understood including in canola. In this study, an allelopathic bioassay and a metabolomic analysis were conducted to compare three non-allelopathic...
