The updated "Canola Meal Feeding Guide" should be your go-to resource

As livestock nutritionists expand their ration formulation options to develop the best rations possible based on current research and available options, many may have questions about canola meal as a protein ingredient. These questions may include:

• What is the nutrient profile of canola meal?
  
• What is the recommended inclusions level for different species?
  
• How does the protein degradation of canola meal in the rumen impact milk production?

The answers to these questions, and more, can be found in the "Canola Meal Feeding Guide" by the Canola Council of Canada. Last updated in 2009, the 5th edition, a comprehensive resource for nutritionists, was recently published and is available as a PDF online. Printed copies will be available at trade shows and by request . The feed guide was updated to include the latest information on feeding canola meal to different livestock species and represents the latest findings from recent industry research studies. The "Canola Meal Feeding Guide" is just one of many resources available at the recently updated www.canolamazing.com. A one-stop, go-to resource for anyone with questions about canola meal and its applications in livestock feed, the website includes recent research, a dairy feed calculator for protein ingredient options, and canola feeding information for multiple livestock species.
