To better know the risks and to be able to aid manufacturers to manage them, French technical center Tecaliman performed studies with specialists of dust explosion at the CNRS lab in Nancy, France.Feed AdditivesBenefits of rapeseed meal drive increased usage in feed productionContaining more than 30 percent protein, rapeseed meal (or canola meal) is increasingly being used in feed for ruminants, pigs and poultry. Its high protein content makes it an attractive substitute for soybean meal. The secret to its recent success in the French feed industry is that the nutritional value of the byproduct is linked to changes in the crop and its processing.Page 1 of 2Next Page
