Rapeseed meal in non-ruminant nutrition.

Nutritive value of rapeseed meal and possibility of replacment of soybean meal by rape meal in the nutrition of pigs and poultry use are given in this paper. Rapeseed meal low in antinutritional factors is possible to be applied up to 5% in nutrition of piglets and 10% in nutrition of sows and fattening pigs. There is also the possibility that the rapeseed meal replaces totally soybean meal in the nutrition of sows and pigs in the second phase of fattening without any negative effects to animals. The limited level of rapeseed meal in the nutrition of young categories of pigs is caused by their higher needs of energy and aminoacids. In broilers nutrition usage of rapeseed meal of different cultivars in amount of 5% did not significantly effect the body weight in the first period of fattening. Effect of cultivar was very significant. The best results were obtained with the cultivar Slavica, then NS-07 and Banacanka, respectively on the performances of the chickens in all the groups in comparison with the control group. Feed conversion ratio was increased in both periods of fattening as well as in the entire experiment.
