Rapeseed Meal provides a good source of rumen degradable protein as well as rumen bypass protein with an amino acid profile beneficially similar to microbial and milk protein.
Benefits
A high protein, good energy feed used to partially replace soya bean meal, although the protein is less digestible. The meal from industrial crops is usually high in glucosinolate/ erucic acid.
