“…From the crambe extraction process, by-products (crushed, meal or cakes) are generated with high protein content and great potential for use in ruminant feed to replace traditional protein sources such as soybean meal and cotton (Canova et al 2015;Carneiro et al 2016;Itavo et al 2016). The crushed crambe has high lipid content (360-380 g/kg) that can increase the energy density of a diet ( Itavo et al 2016). However, although lipids in a ruminant diet are source of energy to the animal, the lipids are not used as a source of energy by rumen microbes, which can reduce fibre digestibility (Van Soest 1994).…”

“…The potential of glucosinolates at high levels represents the primary limitation for the use of crambe in animal feed (Tripathi and Mishra 2007), because the crambe grain has approximately 30-40 g/kg or 90 mol/g of glucosinolates, a toxic level for many organisms (Wallig et al 2002). In ruminants, the toxic products are not produced during digestion (B€ ohme et al 2005); however, reduced intake due to low palatability of crambe by-products is reported (Canova et al 2015;Itavo et al 2016). With this background, the objective of this study was to evaluate the optimum level of crushed crambe to include in the diet of steers as a replacement for soybean meal, measured by the intake and digestibility of nutrients, microbial protein synthesis and nitrogen balance (NB) and ruminal fermentation.…”

To evaluate the substitution of soybean meal by crushed crambe as a source of protein, five crossbred steers rumen cannulated weighting 426 ± 25 kg BW were distributed in a 5 Â 5 Latin square design. The steers were allocated in different levels of crushed crambe groups (0, 25, 50, 100 and 150 g/kg in concentrate supplement). Dry matter intake (DMI), rumen fluid pH, nitrogen (N) urinary excretion, propionate and isovalerate ruminal concentrations increased linearly (p < .05) with the replacement of soybean meal by crushed crambe. Crude protein (CP) intake, butyrate and valerate concentrations, and N retention and balance (g/d) showed linear decreases by the inclusion of crushed crambe. There was a quadratic decrease (p < .05) for neutral detergent fibre (NDF) intake and valerate concentration. Total short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) increased quadratically (p < .05) with the inclusion of crushed crambe. The supplement and total DMI, digestibility of DM, CP and NDF, N-NH 3 , acetate, isobutyrate concentrations and intake, excretion faecal and total of N, microbial protein synthesis, urinary excretion and blood concentration of urea and creatinine were not affected (p > .05) by the crushed crambe inclusion in the diet. It is recommended that 100 g/kg of the crushed crambe inclusion replacing soybean meal supplements to grazing steers because improved supplement DMI and total SCFAs, reducing ruminal fermentation and nitrogen excretion, without affecting digestibility and microbial protein synthesis. HIGHLIGHTS DM intake and digestibility were not affected in steers fed crushed crambe. Urinary N excretion increased with crushed crambe replacing soybean meal.

“…Increased use of crambe meal in lamb (Ovis aries L.) diet has resulted in poor performance, increased hepatic injuries to animals, poor meat quality, and meat containing higher erucic acid content than the limit allowed as safe for human consumption [97]. Oppositely, Itavo et al [25] and Syperreck et al [26] reported no negative effects on lamb carcass quality and animal performance when crambe meal was less than 20% of the ration.…”

Crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst): A Non-Food Oilseed Crop with Great Potential: A Review

et al. 2020

Crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst) is an oilseed crop in the Brassicaceae family. Crambe’s ability to survive in diverse environmental conditions, its unique oil composition, the high oil content, suitability for the production of slip agents for plasticizers, the capacity to be easily included in common crop rotations, and its adaptability to equipment used for small grain cultivation has renewed the interest in this emerging crop. Crambe is considered one of the main sources of erucic acid, which can be up to 60% of its seed oil content. Erucic acid (C22:1) is a fatty acid with industrial importance since it is used to produce erucamide, key ingredient in the plastic industry. Inclusion of crambe into crop rotations can be beneficial because of its short life cycle, low fertility requirements, resistance to pest and diseases, and relative drought tolerance. Currently high erucic acid rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) (HEAR) is the principal source for erucic acid. However, the risk of contaminating food quality rapeseed (i.e., canola) by cross-pollination and the negative impact on climate, due to high inputs, are potential limitations to expand HEAR cultivation. Crambe has thus great potential to, at least, partially replace HEAR as a source of erucic acid, if the current knowledge-gap in agronomic management and crop improvement (seed yield and quality) can be addressed. Seed yield needs to be increased to be able to compete with HEAR. In addition, reducing glucosinolates and fiber in crambe meal may increase its inclusion in monogastrics rations. The objective of this review was to compile and summarize new and existing information on agricultural practices in crambe production and management to identify gaps in knowledge and areas for future research to increase the cultivation of crambe.
