Camelina as Feed

Summary: Few studies have focused on the use of camelina by-products in ruminants. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare chemical composition, dry matter (DMD) and organic matter digestibility (OMD). Five protein sources and two fiber sources were analyzed. Camelina meal showed a greater CP and NDF and lower EE values than camelina expeller (CE). Camelina meal ...

Summary: A study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding Camelina sativa meal to broiler birds on bird performance, carcass characteristics, white and dark meat, and tissue (liver and adipose) total lipids and fatty acid composition. It was concluded that Camelina meal can be included in broiler diets up to 10% without compromising bird performance while increasing the n-3 ...

Summary: Study was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding C. sativa meal to broiler birds on phenolic compounds, tocopherols, flavonoids, antioxidant capacity, and lipid peroxidation in chicken thigh meat during short or long-term storage and cooking. Study showed that Camelina meal could be effective in inhibiting lipid oxidation and enhancing antioxidant capacity. However, the effect was more prominent in ...

Summary: This study aims to investigate the effect of the replacement of dietary fish oil with oil from Camelina sativa on the immune response of Atlantic cod, as measured by the gene expression in spleen. In conclusion, replacement of up to 80% of fish oil with camelina oil in Atlantic cod diets does not have a strong effect on basal ...

Summary: In this study growth and lipid composition of Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout and Atlantic cod were compared after feeding a diet containing camelina oil (CO) as a full replacement of fish oil (FO). In terms of both growth performance and utilization of CO towards fatty acid biosynthesis, it appears that dietary CO is more appropriate for salmonids species than ...

Summary: Milk from Camelina cake-supplemented ewes was characterized by increased levels of beneficial nutritional factors, including mono- and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and was also characterized by lower atherogenic and thrombogenic indices. Taking into consideration all the obtained results and recommended fat concentrations in a daily ruminant ration, we recommend supplementing a dairy ewe’s diet with 30 g kg−1 DM ...
