“…Polyploid breeding in oilseed rape and turnip rape has not been fruitful (96). Although tetraploid turnip rape plants were larger and more vigorous than the diploids, they were lower in fertility, seed yield and oil content (9, 106,116). Despite intensive selection for seed and oil yield, tetraploid turnip rapes have not equalled the diploid varieties (50, 70, Increased oil content in rapeseed results in a greater margin of profit to the crusher (88).…”

Rapeseed meal for livestock and poultry ; a review

1965

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Rapeseed was first grown commercially in western Canada in 1942 as a war measure to supply oil for lubrication of marine engines. Production has expanded rapidly so that rapeseed now represents an important crop for Canadian farmers. A major byproduct of oil extraction is rapeseed meal. In recent years there has been a conversion from expeller extraction of the oil to prepress-solvent or solvent extraction. As a consequence commercial rapeseed meals are not subjected to high temperatures during processing. Research suggests that these meals are comparable to soybean meal as a protein supplement for most classes of livestock and poultry.The increased production of rapeseed, the expanding research in breeding of new rapeseed varieties, the changes in processing methods and increased knowledge of nutritional properties of the meal have made it imperative that information on the nutritional value of rapeseed meal should be compiled and evaluated under one cover. It is hoped that this review will allow feed processors and livestock feeders to make optimum use of rapeseed meal. The review should also point out to research workers the areas where information on rapeseed meal is limited.Each chapter of this review is intended to be a complete entity which may be read without extensive reference to previous or subsequent chapters. Therefore there is a certain amount of overlapping to allow an individual author to deal with the subject matter in breadth as well as depth. As in any collaborative monograph, helpful suggestions, ideas and criticisms have been made by numerous people. The editors and authors wish to acknowledge, with thanks, their indebtedness to these unnamed collaborators.
