Development of a Co-Extruded Canola Meal and Pea Starch Product to Replace Dietary Soybean Meal
Canola meal is a concentrated source of protein and has well-balanced amino acid composition especially methionine. Globally canola meal is the second most common source protein source used in animal diets with soybean meal being the most common. In western Canada, most of the soybean meal is imported and therefore costly. Canola meal has lower metabolizable energy than soybean meal limiting its use in some higher-density diets necessitating producers to use soybean meal despite its high cost.
Process adaptation and assessment of market development constraints for protein products from cold-press, GM canola meal
Canola seed processing in Canada is currently optimized to obtain high quality canola oil for the vegetable oil market, while the canola meal co-product primarily goes into the livestock feed market.
Utilization of canola meal in the diets of early lactation dairy cows
Greater milk yield is achieved when canola meal replaces soybean meal in the diets of high producing dairy cows. In addition, persistency of milk yield is greater for cows fed canola meal. Part of the explanation for greater milk is because cows fed canola meal consumed more feed resulting in greater milk production.
Determination of micronutrient availability resulting in improved precision formulation with canola meal in animal feeds
There has been a dramatic increase in canola crushing capacity in Saskatchewan over the last 15 years and recently an additional 3 million tonnes of annual crush capacity have been announced in Regina.
Valorization of canola meal by developing canola meal extract as a microbial media for fermentation
Saskatchewan produces 11 million MT of canola, of which only 4 million MT are processed here, producing approximately 2.2 million MT of CM (considering the oil content of canola as high as 45%).
Canola AgriScience Cluster Theme 2: Differentiated Quality and Sustainable Livestock Production Using Canola Meal
The Canola AgriScience Cluster is a five-year research program funded through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) and the canola industry.

Evaluation of Canola Meal as compared to Soybean meal in Practical California Rations: Effects upon long term lactational performance, reproductive performance and metabolic disease.
Utilizing pulse-protein and canola oil-based emulsions in healthy meat products
Objectives: Development of pulse protein.
Practical Oilseed Protein Products
Our proposal describes ethanol and small molecule extraction. This process is similar to hexane extraction used to recover oil but uses potable anhydrous ethanol as the solvent. Our local industries can produce potable anhydrous ethanol and also recover the ethanol after it has been used for extraction.
Development of a Tool for Rapid Analysis of Glucosinolate in Canola Meal
This research will promote the use of these important Canadian feed resources, effectively in animal nutrition. A comprehensive database on the chemical and nutritional profiles will be generated and specifications on the digestible energy and available amino acids and P contents for poultry and swine will be developed.
Level of canola source fat in pregnant beef cow diets – effects on cow and calf performance
This research is not only focus on determining the optimum amount of fat from off-grade canola seed supplementation to gestating beef cows, but the economic price point (taking into account prices of traditional feed sources and canola inclusion costs) when canola supplementation is most profitable.
