Rapeseed napin and cruciferin are readily digested by poultry (2016)
Journal Article
Kasprzak, M., Houdijk, J., Liddell, S., Davis, K., Olukosi, O., Kightley, S., …Wiseman, J. (2017). Rapeseed napin and cruciferin are readily digested by poultry. Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 101(4), 658-666. https://doi.org/10.1111/jpn.12576

Rapeseed proteins have been considered as being poorly digestible in the gut of non-ruminants. The aim of the study was to assess the digestibility of napin and cruciferin in ileal digesta of broiler chickens, testing sixteen samples of rapeseed co-p...

© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Complex relationships commonly exist between owners and their companion animals, particularly around feeding behaviour with an owner's affection or love for their animal most pronounced through the provision of food. It is notabl... Read More about “Who's been a good dog?” – Owner perceptions and motivations for treat giving.

Effects of rapeseed variety and oil extraction method on the content and ileal digestibility of crude protein and amino acids in rapeseed cake and softly processed rapeseed meal fed to broiler chickens (2016)
Journal Article
Kasprzak, M., Houdijk, J., Kightley, S., Olukosi, O., White, G., Carre, P., & Wiseman, J. (2016). Effects of rapeseed variety and oil extraction method on the content and ileal digestibility of crude protein and amino acids in rapeseed cake and softly processed rapeseed meal fed to broiler chickens. Animal Feed Science and Technology, 213, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2016.01.002

We examined the effects of rapeseed variety and oil extraction method on crude protein (CP) and amino acid (AA) content in rapeseed co-products, and determined their coefficient of apparent (AID) and standardised ileal digestibility (SID) in broiler...
