Objectives

THEME 1: Differentiated quality and enhanced environmental performance in food processing.

  • Nutrigenetics, canola oil, and glucose tolerance: does SCD1 genotype modulate a person’s response to canola oil?

  • Novel extraction of oil and antioxidants from canola seed

THEME 2: Differentiated quality and sustainable livestock production using canola meal.

  • Gut health and digestive physiology of nursery pigs and broiler chicken fed canola coproducts-based diets.

  • Canola meal to improve efficiency and sustainability of dairy production: filling knowledge gaps.

  • Understanding the impacts of canola meal on gut microbiota and potential pre-biotic effect of enzymatically-released bioactive fiber components and the long term effects of high levels of canola meal inclusion on sow and litter performance.

  • Accurate determination of the contribution of canola meal to metabolizable protein supply in dairy cows.

  • Evaluation of canola meal as compared to soybean meal in Practical California Rations: effects upon long term lactational performance, reproductive performance and metabolic disease.
