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.
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.
Canola AgriScience Cluster Theme 1: Differentiated Quality and Enhanced Environmental Performance in Food Processing
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.
Canola Agri-Science Cluster CARP Theme 1-2
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.
Process adaptation and assessment of market development constraints for protein products from cold-press, GM canola meal
This project identifies gaps in technology development for cold-press canola meal for protein production. It also identifies exact applications or markets that can be targeted based on functional and nutritional attributes; this includes an assessment of consumer perceptions of canola protein and GM- canola to position products in the market.
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.
Comparing the protein source and frequency of supplementation of forage intake, competitive feeding interactions, and nutrient utilization for beef cattle fed low-quality forages
Researchers wanted to determine if canola meal could be a suitable protein source for beef cattle.
Reaney, Der Rees & Dalai: Industrial Products from Vegetable Oils
Using green processing technologies, Saskatchewan-grown crops, such as camelina, canola, corn, flax and soybean oils can be incorporated into existing materials and manufacturing processes without the need for additional infrastructure.
Newkirk: Enhancing the nutritional value of by-products through steam explosion
Canola production and processing create significant economic benefits for Saskatchewan and Canada as a whole. The industry has grown over the years due to the demand for healthy oil, sound agronomy and suitable growing conditions in Saskatchewan.
Penner: Determination of the optimal inclusion rate of canola meal in starter mixtures for dairy calves
Canola meal is commonly used as a protein source in rations for dairy cows and beef cattle, however inclusion is limited in rations for newborn calves due to concerns of low palatability and low digestibility.
Yu: Feed Quality Study of 'Canola Meal' Produced in China in Comparison with 'Canola Meal' Produced in Canada for Producers/Industries
In 2015, researchers initiated a three-year feed program, including four projects conducted at different phases, to compare the feed quality of canola meal produced in China with Canada.
McKinnon: Establishing canola meal as the protein supplement of choice for growing beef cattle and dairy heifers
Researchers in Saskatchewan conducted a series of trials to evaluate the value of canola meal in growing/finishing beef cattle diets relative to other common protein supplements such as soybean meal and wheat dried distiller’s grains with solubles (WDDGS).
Dalai: Purification of Crude Glycerol and its Conversion to Bio-Chemicals
Canadian canola-based biodiesel production is projected to increase over the next few years. Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan conducted a multi-year, multi-objective project with the aim to improve the glycerol purification process as well as the glycerol-based by-product process.
Penner: Use of Canola Meal as a Protein Source in Pelleted Starter Mixtures for Dairy Calves
Canola meal use in starter mixtures for calves has been limited due to a perception that it has low palatability and digestibility. Researchers conducted a four-year project and four studies to evaluate the use of canola meal as a protein source for dairy calves.
