Canola Meal Seen As Swine Protein Hope In Manitoba
Dr. Jack Hare told the Manitoba Hog Days Seminar in Brandon that canola meal has strong potential as a swine protein source, overcoming rapeseed meal’s bad reputation. On farm trials in Manitoba compare canola meal with imported soybean meal, showing equal or better feed efficiency and carcass results in most trials. Growth adapts after an initial phase, with comparable or superior performance once adapted, provided canola meal stays under about 75 percent of soybean meal price. A shift to Canadian canola meal would boost local crushers and save foreign exchange.
