What is Double Expeller-Pressed Canola Meal?
Viterra Canola Processing uses a mechanical crushing process
that is termed double expeller-pressed. The seed is pressed
twice to extract oil rather than using solvent extraction to
extract the residual oil from the first press meal. The expellerpressed canola meal has a higher oil content which can range
from 9-11% and therefore has higher metabolizable, digestible
and net energy content than traditional pre-press solvent
extracted canola meal.
SOME KEY FEATURES OF
VITERRA CANOLA MEAL
PRACTICAL USE OF VITERRA
CANOLA MEAL IN DAIRY FEEDS
Viterra canola meal contains approximately 11% oil, compared to 3% in
conventional canola meal. This extra energy results in approximately 20%
more bio-available energy for animals, making canola meal one of the highest
energy protein ingredients available.
Viterra’s Canola Meal, like conventional canola meal, will find ready
acceptance in dairy feeds. Like conventional canola meal, there will be
more milk production due to the high quality nature of canola protein,
its high palatability and its ready feed acceptance by dairy cows. As
well, the extra energy in Viterra’s canola meal means that supplemental
fat may not be required in order to balance the diets.
Viterra canola meal contains 97% dry matter (compared to 88%-90% dry
matter for conventional canola meal), meaning that you are paying for
nutrients, not water. This provides some flexibility to feed formulators who
are working with some higher moisture feed ingredients. Also, even with the
higher oil content, Viterra canola meal contains almost as much protein as
conventional canola meal on an as is basis.
Canola meal is known for its excellent amino acid balance, with especially
high levels of methionine plus cystine and histidine. Viterra canola meal
has the same amino acid balance, with a slightly higher digestibility than
conventional canola meal. Viterra canola meal does not undergo the same
toasting that conventional canola meal undergoes. Since no solvents are used,
no steam processing is required. Viterra canola meal contains high levels of
essential fatty acids, specially linoleic acid. This means that adding linoleic
acid (in the form of extra oil) is not usually required when using Viterra canola
meal.
VITERRA CANOLA MEAL – BOTH
A PROTEIN AND AN ENERGY
FEED INGREDIENT
Viterra Canola Meal is a high quality feed protein source
which is also an excellent energy source
- Suitable for feeding to all animals
- Excellent amino acid balance
- Its high oil content gives it one of the highest energy
contents of all feed protein ingredients
