Composition and biological quality of rapeseed meal (Brassica napus L: ) CTC-4 ...
Santos, A.C.; Fabris, V.E.; Basso, L.C.; Haag, H.P.The toxic effect of detoxified rapeseed meal obtained by 2 h lixiviation was studied in growing animals. The control diets provided 10% protein from casein, detoxified rapeseed and crude rapeseed. A fourth diet was prepared substituting half casein for detoxified rapeseed meal. Feed consumption, weight gain and protein efficiency ratio revealled good performance for all diets as compared to the crude meal. Prot...
