Thacker, P. A. and Newkirk, R. W. 2005. Performance of growing-finishing pigs fed barley-based diets containing toasted or non-toasted canola meal. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 85: 53-59. Eighty crossbred pigs (28.7 ± 3.9 kg BW) were assigned to one of five dietary treatments in a factorial design experiment (sex × treatment). The control diet was formulated using barley and soybean meal, while four experimental diets were formulated with either toasted or non-toasted canola meal replacing either half or all of the soybean meal in the test diets. The total glucosinolate content of the non-toasted meal was more than 15-fold higher than the toasted meal (1.01 vs. 15.58 µmol g -1 ). The principal glucosinolates in the non-toasted meal were 3-butenyl (3.05 µmol g -1 ), 2-OH-3-butenyl (5.47 µmol g -1 ) and 4-OH-3-methylindoyl (4.68 µmol g -1 ). Digestibility coefficients for dry matter, crude protein, and gross energy were significantly (P < 0.05) lower for the toasted and non-toasted canola meal diets compared with the soybean meal diet. There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in digestibility coefficients between the two canola meals. Digestibility coefficients were higher (P < 0.05) for pigs fed the diets in which canola meal supplied only 50% of the supplementary protein compared with diets in which 100% of the supplementary protein was supplied by canola meal. Pigs fed toasted canola meal had similar weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion (P > 0.05) as pigs fed soybean meal while pigs fed non-toasted canola meal had lower weight gain and feed intake (P < 0.05) than pigs fed soybean meal. Feed conversion was unaffected by dietary treatment (P > 0.05). There were no significant effects (P < 0.05) due to diet on any carcass trait. The overall results of this experiment indicate that omitting the desolventization/toasting procedure from the process involved in the production of canola meal did not result in an improvement in the performance of pigs fed diets containing canola meal.Key words: Pigs, canola meal, performance, digestibility, carcass, toasting Thacker, P. A. et Newkirk, R. W. 2005. Performance des porcs de croissance-finition nourris d'orge enrichie de tourteau de canola grillé ou pas. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 85: 53-59. Quatre-vingts porcs hybrides (28,7 ± 3,9 kg de poids corporel) ont été répar-tis entre cinq régimes alimentaires dans le cadre d'une expérience factorielle (sexe × régime). La ration témoin contenait de l'orge et du tourteau de soja alors que dans les quatre rations expérimentales, le tourteau de canola grillé ou pas remplaçait la moitié ou la totalité du soja. Le tourteau de canola non grillé renfermait au-delà de 15 fois plus de glucosinolates que le tourteau grillé (1,01 c. 15,58 µmol g -1 ). Le tourteau non grillé contenait surtout du 3-butényle (3,05 µmol g -1 ), du 2-OH-3-butényle (5,47 µmol g -1 ) et du 4-OH-3-méthylindoyle (4,68 µmol g -1 ). Les coefficients de digestibilité de la matière sèche, des protéines brutes et de l'én-ergie brute étaient significativement (P < 0,05) plus ...
