Rapeseed Meal is the by-product obtained after the oil is extracted from rapeseeds (Brassica napus or Brassica campestris) through mechanical or solvent extraction methods. It is one of the most widely used protein-rich animal feed ingredients across the globe.
With a typical crude protein content ranging from 36% to 40%, rapeseed meal is valued for its well-balanced amino acid profile—particularly rich in methionine and cysteine—making it a suitable supplement for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed.
In addition to its protein content, Rapeseed Meal also contains significant levels of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and B-complex vitamins. While traditional rapeseed meal had limitations due to the presence of glucosinolates (anti-nutritional factors), modern low-glucosinolate varieties (canola meal) are widely used and better tolerated by animals. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to soybean meal and is often incorporated into feed formulations to reduce overall costs while maintaining nutritional value.
