Protein Feeds
Canola Meal
Canola Meal is a by-product of canola seed oil production.
Nutritional Benefits
Canola contains 30-35% rumen undegradable (bypass) protein and the other 65-70% is degraded in the rumen. This is quite similar to the protein fraction in Soya Bean Meal. Therefore, Canola works well in diets that are low in rumen degradable protein, e.g. when over 40% of the diet is low protein feeds such as maize silage, whole crop silage, stalky grass silage or grain. GM free option available.
Feeding Recommendations
The benefits of Canola Meal are best captured in a balanced feed ration and normally feeding rates for dairy cows are 0.5-2kg DM per day. In grain mixes inclusion rates range from 10-30%. Canola Meal is best fed as part of a customised feed blend in the shed. Feed as required when protein is limiting production.
