Camelina sativa is an oil seed crop which can be grown on marginal lands. Camelina seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and Ξ³-tocopherol but is also high in erucic acid and glucosinolates. Camelina meal is the by-product after the oil has been extracted. Camelina meal was fed to 28 d old weaned pigs at 3.7% and 7.4% until ...
Summary: The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects on the vitamin E content of various body samples and the oxidative stability of backfat, of a short term application of a high vitamin E dose that was given at the end of the finishing period (21 days) to pigs that had been fed with various levels of ...
Summary: To evaluate the feeding value of false flax expeller (FFE) for pigs, nutrients (crude nutrients, amino acids and fatty acids) were analyzed and their digestibility was determined with 6 growing pigs. Also, a feeding trial followed by slaughter investigations was performed with a total of 60 pigs to study the influence of increasing levels of FFE in diets on ...
Summary: An experiment was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) in two sources of camelina seeds and to compare the SID of CP and AA in camelina products with the SID of CP and AA in solvent-extracted canola meal fed to pigs. Results from this experiment indicate that the SID ...
Summary: For aquaculture of marine species to continue to expand, dietary fish oil must be replaced with more sustainable vegetable oil alternatives. Most vegetable oils are rich in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and few are rich in n-3 PUFA but Camelina oil is unique in that, besides high 18:3n-3 and n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio, it also contains substantial long-chain monoenes, ...
Summary: Camelina oil replaced 50% and 100% of fish oil in diets for farmed rainbow trout. Camelina is particularly unique due to its high lipid content and high amount of Ξ±-linolenic acid. Replacing 100% of fish oil with camelina oil did not negatively affect growth of rainbow trout after a 12-week feeding trial. Final DHA and EPA amounts in a ...
