Canola meal feed grade is a by-product of the oil extraction process from canola seeds (a variety of rapeseed). After the oil is removed, the remaining meal is processed into a high-protein, nutrient-rich ingredient used in animal feed.
Usage areas
- Livestock feed: An important component in the feed for cattle, sheep, and goats, where it supports muscle growth, weight gain, and overall health due to its high protein content.
- Poultry feed: Used in poultry feed, canola meal provides the necessary protein and amino acids for optimal egg production, meat quality, and healthy growth in chickens and turkeys.
- Swine feed: Canola meal is included in pig feed to help promote lean muscle growth and healthy development.
- Aquaculture feed: Sometimes included in fish feed, providing a source of plant-based protein and essential nutrients that support fish growth and overall health.
- Pet food: Canola meal is occasionally used in pet food formulations, especially for dogs, where it serves as a digestible plant protein source that supports overall nutrition.
- Animal fodder: It is commonly included in forage mixes to provide additional protein for livestock, particularly in systems where plant-based protein sources are prioritised.
