Rapeseed and rapeseed press cake were tested in four long-term experiments with a total of ninety-eight pigs. Rapeseed contained 20 and rapeseed press cake 19 mmol glucosinolates/kg DM. The proportion of the tested rapeseed products in feed amounted to 0 (control), 50, 100 and 150 g/kg diet. Moist-heat-treated rapeseed and rapeseed press cake with an extremely low glucosinolate content were als...

rapeseed is the most widely used oil crop in europe and it is an ideal raw material for the production of biodiesel. because of a high nutritional value and a relatively high omega-3 fatty acids content, rapeseed cake can be used in poultry nutrition for the enrichment of meat and eggs. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the possibility of using rapeseed cake in diets for turkeys...

I in the chain sow diet --> blood serum of sow --> sow milk --> piglet serum was investigated in two experiments with a total of eighty-one sows and their piglets. In experiments conducted during the last trimester of gravidity and the 28 d of lactation, diets with glucosinolates (1.9 mmol/kg diet via 100 g ground rapeseed/kg diet (Expt 1) and 2.1 and 4.2 mmol/kg diet via 75 and 150 g rapeseed ...

Two experiments were conducted to study the effect of rapeseed cake and xylanase application on the digestibility and deposition of nutrients and energy in young broiler chickens. Experiment 1 was carried out on broiler chickens between the ages of 1 to 21 days, which were divided into three groups. The control diet contained soybean meal, whereas in the experimental diets a part of the soybean...

Fifteen different vegetable protein sources found in Pakistan were evaluated for ruminal degradability characteristics through in situ procedure using rumen fistulated Nili-Ravi buffalo steer. Samples of soybean meal, corn gluten meal 60%, maize gluten feed, guar meal, sunflower meal, rapeseed meal, rapeseed cake, canola meal, cottonseed cake, cottonseed meal, coconut cake, coconut meal, palm k...

The production of activated carbons (ACs) from rapeseed cake and raspberry seed cake using slow pyrolysis followed by physical activation of the obtained solid residues is the topic of this study. The effect of activation temperature (850, 900 and 950 °C), activation time (30, 60, 90 and 120 min) and agent (steam and CO₂) on the textural characteristics of the ACs is investigated by N₂ adsorpti...

The standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA was evaluated in soybean (Glycine max) meal, sunflower (Helianthus annuus) meal, rapeseed cake, and field pea (Pisum sativum) using 10 pigs and in lupine (Lupinus angustifolius) using 7 pigs. Pigs were fitted with either a T-cannula or a steered ileocecal valve-cannula. Diets contained 170 to 186 g CP/kg DM. Endogenous losses of CP and AA ...

In 2000, EU regulations for organic animal production set new guidelines for organic pig feeding requiring that this be based on mainly home-grown organic feedstuffs. Doubts were however raised whether these feeding regimes can maintain good growth performance and carcass quality of pigs. Three experiments were carried out to study different organic feeding regimes in weaned piglets and fatteni...

Rapeseed contains high amounts of phenolic compounds, mainly derivatives of sinapic acid, but only a small part can be found in virgin rapeseed oil, since the polar compounds remain in the press cake. A temperature treatment of the raw material results in the degradation of sinapic acid to 2,6dimethoxy-4-vinylphenol (vinylsyringol or canolol), which is described in literature as a very strong a...

We investigated the influence of cryogenic grinding on quality rapeseed cake. Rapeseed cake is a good source valuable proteins (30%) and oil (14%), with balanced fatty acid composition fair amount sterols, which may reduce risk cardiovascular diseases. However, presence antinutritive compounds prevents its use as food source. Grinding under conditions much more efficient than at room temperatur...
