Extract
Glucosinolate levels are thought to be the major factor limiting the use of rapeseed meals in pig diets. The greatest differences In glucoslnolate content between samples of rapeseed appear to be attributable to variety and site of cultivation. A growing pig feeding trial was set up to Investigate varietal and site differences in the nutritive value of different rapeseed meals.
Rapeseed of the double low varieties Tapidor, Cobra, Libravo and Ariana were obtained from each of two sites (High Mowthorpe EHF, North Yorkshire and Bridgets EHF, Hampshire) where agronomic practices at both sites were very similar. These materials were solvent extracted to yield eight rapeseed meals of commercial type.
