Nutritional quality of toasted or dehulled and cold defatted rapeseed meal
Rapeseed meal is an important protein source because of its well-balanced amino acid composition. However, its use in animal feeding is limited because of glucosinolates and a high fibre content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional quality of two products, a toasted industrial rapeseed meal with a low myrosinase and glucosinolate content and a dehulled rapeseed meal, with a low fibre content, which had been defatted at 50 °C. An ad libitum food intake experiment was conducted with adult rats fed 200 g/kg protein
