Summary: The present work was designed to study Camelina sativa (CS)as a new dietary source of omega-3-fatty acids for the production of healthful eggs. The results indicate that the fatty acid composition of hen eggs can be beneficially modified by Camelina saliva seed oil. The functional properties of eggs did not deteriorate. The sensory properties in CS oil eggs were ...
Summary: The diet for broiler chicken was supplemented with camelina oil and was compared with diets supplemented with soybean oil and rapeseed oil. No differences were observed for growth performance. However, the type of oil impacted the fatty acid profile of muscle tissue and abdominal fat. These results showed the usefulness of camelina oil in producing food enriched with α-linolenic ...
Summary: Our study evaluated the potential use of Camelina meal (CM) as a feed ingredient in turkey poult starter diets. Results indicate that CM may be a potentially useful minor ingredient in turkey diets if economically feasible, but caution should be exercised in using CM above 5% of finished feed in a poult starter diet. In an appended test, similar ...
Summary: This experiment was conducted to determine the apparent and standardized ileal digestibility of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA), the digestible, metabolizable and calculated net energy values of screw-pressed camelina cake (SPCC) fed to growing pigs. In conclusion, SPCC has potential as an energy source given its remaining oil content, however, its digestibility coefficients for AA and CP ...
Summary: The effects of dietary supplementation with camelina oil on porcine plasma fatty acid composition and on serum cholesterol/triglyceride concentrations were investigated and compared with the effects of fish oil.

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 γ-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 ...
