Canola Meal
Brassica spp.
Also known as: Canola seed meal, rapeseed meal
About Canola Meal
A byproduct of canola oil extraction process having moderate palatability for ruminants.
Nutritional value and use in livestock rations
Canola Meal is a concentrate feed and a protein source in the Pakistan Feed Library. On average canola meal contains crude protein 39.6% of dry matter, metabolisable energy 2.5 Mcal/kg, TDN 70.1% of dry matter, NDF 31.2% of dry matter.
Protein concentrates raise the crude-protein content of a ration where forages alone are not enough. They are used in controlled amounts alongside energy feeds, forage and minerals, in line with the needs of the animals.
Nutrient values vary with variety, growing conditions, processing and storage, so treat the averages as a guide. Send us your ration details if you would like advice on using it in a TMR.
TMR Pakistan supplies Canola Meal in bulk for farms and feed mills. Add it to your quote list or contact us for a quotation.

- Calculated from lab data
SD = standard deviation DM = dry matter. Nutrients other than dry matter are expressed on a dry-matter basis. TDN = total digestible nutrients; ME, NEm, NEg, NEl and DE = metabolisable, net (maintenance / gain / lactation) and digestible energy.
