Camelina as Feed

Summary: Our study evaluated the potential use of Camelina meal (CM) as a feed ingredient in turkey poult starter diets. Results indicate that CM may be a potentially useful minor ingredient in turkey diets if economically feasible, but caution should be exercised in using CM above 5% of finished feed in a poult starter diet. In an appended test, similar ...

Summary: This experiment was conducted to determine the apparent and standardized ileal digestibility of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA), the digestible, metabolizable and calculated net energy values of screw-pressed camelina cake (SPCC) fed to growing pigs. In conclusion, SPCC has potential as an energy source given its remaining oil content, however, its digestibility coefficients for AA and CP ...

Summary: The effects of dietary supplementation with camelina oil on porcine plasma fatty acid composition and on serum cholesterol/triglyceride concentrations were investigated and compared with the effects of fish oil.

Camelina sativa is an oil seed crop which can be grown on marginal lands. Camelina seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and γ-tocopherol but is also high in erucic acid and glucosinolates. Camelina meal is the by-product after the oil has been extracted. Camelina meal was fed to 28 d old weaned pigs at 3.7% and 7.4% until ...

Summary: The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects on the vitamin E content of various body samples and the oxidative stability of backfat, of a short term application of a high vitamin E dose that was given at the end of the finishing period (21 days) to pigs that had been fed with various levels of ...

Summary: To evaluate the feeding value of false flax expeller (FFE) for pigs, nutrients (crude nutrients, amino acids and fatty acids) were analyzed and their digestibility was determined with 6 growing pigs. Also, a feeding trial followed by slaughter investigations was performed with a total of 60 pigs to study the influence of increasing levels of FFE in diets on ...
