This study examined the effects of supplementation of fish oil and canola oil in the diet on milk yield, milk components and fatty acid composition of Holstein dairy cows in early lactation. Eight multiparous early lactation Holstein cows (42±12 DIM, 40±6 kg daily milk yield) were fed a total mixed ration supplemented with either 0% oil (Control), 2% fish oil (FO), 1% canola oil +1% fish oil (F...

BACKGROUND The objective was to determine the effect of prepartum diets supplemented with rolled canola seed (high in oleic acid) or sunflower seed (high in linoleic acid) on luteinizing hormone (LH) pulsatility and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)-induced LH release during early postpartum. METHODS Thirty-one pregnant Holstein cows, blocked by body condition score, parity and expected c...

Winter canola generally produces greater yields than spring canola. However, its range is limited due to inability withstand the harsh winter conditions that occur in many northern regions of U.S.A. To identify loci associated with freezing tolerance canola, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using genotyped diversity panel containing 399 accessions consisting primarily One-mon...

Salinity level may affect early development of biofuel feedstock crops. The biofuel feedstock crops canola (Brassica napus L.), sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.); and the potential feedstock crop sweet corn (Zea mays L.) were planted in media in pots and treated with aqueous solutions of 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 M NaCl once at: 1) planting; 2) 7-10 days afte...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of 2 high-protein canola meals (canola meal A [CMA]: 45.69% CP and canola meal B [CMB]: 46.97% CP) and a conventional canola meal (CM-CV: 35.10% CP) on growth performance, organ weights, bone ash, and blood parameters of weanling pigs. Inclusion rates of canola meal (CM) in the diets were 10, 20, 30, or 40% for CMA and CM-CV, whereas inclusions we...

Priming fresh and naturally aged canola seeds with different substances observing the seed germination properties are involved in this work. Fresh of cv. “süzer” were treated distilled water, -0.8 MPa polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 50 mM thiamine for 8 hours. Storage showed loss capacity compared to seeds. Present findings indicate that priming can improve speed both canola. Germination percent...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is a nitrogen (N)-demanding crop, so tissue N analysis should be related to soil supply. We evaluated canola uptake in relation pools plots receiving 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1 from urea at three sites eastern Canada 2012. Soil varied significantly the rosette, flowering, pod filling maturity stages, but responded less predictably urea. was inconsistently input. This ...

in order to evaluate the effects of yield and yield components and weed diversity and density in row intercropping for wheat and canola, a field experiment was conducted based on a complete randomized block design with three replications at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during two growing seasons of 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. treatments included four pa...

Oil cakes have excellent nutritional value and offer considerable potential for use in biotechnological processes that employ solid-state fermentation (SSF) for the production of high value products. This work evaluates the feasibility of using canola cake as a substrate for protease production by a selected strain of Aspergillus oryzae cultivated under SSF. The influences of the following proc...
