The effects of feeding canola meal from high protein or conventional varieties of canola seeds on pork quality
Canola meal (CM) can be a valuable alternative to soybean meal (SBM) as a protein supplement for pigs. However, it has a lower crude protein content and about 3 times as much fiber as soybean meal, thus limiting the availability of essential amino acids and digestible energy in pig diets, and …

RESISTANCE OF BULK CANOLA OILSEED TO AIRFLOW
… were studied in a 4.6 m diameter bin filled with canola (variety Tobin, Brassica campestris) using either a spreader or central spout. The resistance of canola to airflow and the effect of variety, moisture content, method of fill, direction of airflow and the amount and size of foreign material …

Nutritional evaluation of canola meal produced from a new variety of canola seeds in broiler chickens and laying hens
… The first experiment evaluated a conventional canola meal (Conv CM) in broiler chicken diets from 2 to 37 days of age. Treatments were replicated eight times using five chickens per replicate. Treatment diets were corn and soybean meal based and contained 0, 10, 20, 30 or 40% Conv CM from 2 to …

Nutritional Evaluation Of New Reduced-Oligosaccharide Soybean Meal And Canola Meals Produced From New Varieties Of Canola Seeds For Poultry
… is similar or slightly higher than SBM-CV. Canola meals produced from new varieties of canola seeds The development of the double low (low erucic acid and low glucosinolates) cultivars of canola has resulted in increased usages of canola meal (CM) in poultry diets. If the CM had more …

Nitrogen partitioning, content and efficiency in hybrid canola
Canola is a valuable oilseed crop worldwide and in Canada. More than half of Canada’s canola is produced in Saskatchewan every year. Farmers use nitrogen fertilizer supply so that canola crops reach their yield potential. Canola, like corn, is a crop that is know for high nitrogen fertilization …

Generalizable Canola Seedling Detection in Aerial Field Imagery
As a major oilseed crop, canola has an important role to play in improving global food security. By making timely management decisions based on accurate assessments of crop health, producers can improve the yield returns of their canola fields. Emergence plant counts are prized as one of the …

Genetically Engineered Herbicide Tolerant Canola: A Multiple Account Evaluation
… estimates the adoption of herbicide tolerant Canola will produce consumer and producer benefits valued at $187 million during the first five years of licensing. The economic impacts during this same time period are estimated to generate $248 million of additional output, $135 million of …

Optical and microwave remote sensing of wheat and canola
… nature of seasonal backscatter from wheat and canola; and 2) determine the extent to which RADARSAT can discriminate variations in biomass at the field scale. This research is necessary because managers, scientists and agricultural producers locally require better information on production …

Pollinator Movement and Pollen Transfer in Hybrid Seed Canola
Production of hybrid seed canola requires the transfer of pollen from hermaphroditic (‘male’) to male-sterile (‘female’) plants, facilitated by managed pollinators (honey and leafcutter bees) and wild pollinators. I assessed pollinators in fields of hybrid seed canola located in Southern Alberta to …

Increasing the Nutritional Value of Canola Meal via Fungal Bioprocessing
<p>The main limitation of meals from canola and other <em>Brassica </em>spp. is the presence of glucosinolates (GLS), which are anti-nutritional and can even be toxic at high ingestion levels. Furthermore, large amounts of GLS can reduce palatability for livestock and thus reduce intake and growth …

The nutritive value of high fiber canola meal for ruminants
… to assess the nutritive value of high fiber canola meal (HFCM) as a protein supplement for ruminants. Trial one determined the chemical composition of HFCM relative to low fiber canola meal (LFCM) and canola meal in a completely randomized design using samples obtained from five different …

An examination of factors influencing producer adoption of HT canola
… to determine the probability of adopting HT canola when producers are assumed heterogeneous. The model is based on the framework developed by Fulton and Keyowski (1999), but is modified from a deterministic model to a probabilistic model. The study also considers the gross returns from …

Phosphorus bioavailability and digestibility in canola meals determined by different methods
… P bioavailability for a new test high-protein canola meal (TCM), a conventional canola meal (CCM) and dehulled soybean meal (SBM) using different types of animal assays. Experiment 1 was a chick-growth bioassay conducted to determine relative P bioavailability in the TCM, CCM, and SBM relative …

Belowground Contributions of Pea and Canola to Soil Nitrogen Pools and Processes
… the Canadian prairies—namely, field pea and canola, respectively. Using continuous 15N2 labeling, the input of fixed-N to rhizosphere soil from pea plants amounted to less than 2% of the total plant N assimilated via fixation. Nodulation and root 15N enrichment were positively related to …

Effects of Using Canola Meal as a Protein Source in Broiler Diets
… to evaluate the response of broilers fed canola meal. Experiment 1 assessed performance and carcass yields when broilers were fed various combinations of canola and soybean meal in nutritionally balanced diets based on digestible amino acid values. The results suggested that canola meal …

Evaluation of high-protein canola meals fed to growing chicks and weanling pigs
… the nutritional value among 2 high-protein canola meals (CMA and CMB), conventional canola meal (CM-CV), and soybean meal (SBM). The objective of Experiment 1 was to determine P bioavailability in the canola meals and SBM relative to KH2PO4 when fed to growing chicks and to determine if P …

Effectiveness of canola meal as a source of rumen-undegraded protein for dairy cows
Canola is an offspring of rapeseed (Brassica napus and Brassica campestris/rapa), canola seed is rich in oil, and after oil extraction, the remaining "canola meal" (CM), is a rich protein source used as feedstock to different animal species, mainly dairy cows in North America and in Europe. Despite …
