Rapeseed Meal

Rapeseed Meal is a protein-rich meal used for feeding livestock and poultry. It is produced by extracting oil from rapeseed (also known as mustard). The rapeseed undergoes multistage oil extraction processes like seed cleaning, pre-conditioning, rolling and flaking, cooking and pressing. Solvent extraction (hexane) of the press-cake is then carried out to extract the remainder of the oil. The desolventizing and toasting takes place under hygienically controlled conditions.

Rapeseed provides a healthy source of rumen degradable protein and rumen bypass protein. The amino acid profile is beneficially similar to microbial and milk protein. Rapeseed meal is generally used as cattle food due to its composition of calcium, phosphorus, selenium, iron, and manganese.
