Camelina (Camelina sativa) oil was tested as a replacement for fish oil in diets for farmed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Camelina differs from other plant oilseeds previously used in aquaculture with high lipid, Ξ±-linolenic acid, antioxidants and low proportions of saturated fats. In sum: Camelina oil can reduce the amount of fish oil needed to meet lipid requirements, although replacing ...
Summary: Camelina meal has high protein content, a balanced amino acid profile and a quite good ruminal digestibility of protein similar to rapeseed or soybean meal used in animal feed. Low-input Camelina biodiesel by-product could strongly substitute for high-input rapeseed or soybean biodiesel by-product in feed formulations. The characterization of Camelina meal described in this thesis suggests that research trials ...
Summary: The use of Camelina meal in animal diets may be limited by antinutritive compounds. The content of glucosinolates, phytic acid, sinapine and condensed tannins was evaluated in twelve accessions of Camelina sativa. Camelina showed the presence of three different glucosinolates in the meal, with differences among genotypes regarding the relative abundance of each glucosinolate.

Summary: Extensive new knowledge about agrotechnical aspects and agro-industrial exploitation of Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz was acquired between 1995-1998. Seed and oil cakes from ten different localities in Europe and in Scandinavia, were analyzed. Qualitative parameters significant to the biological value of the fodder, such as the content of glucosinolates, sinapine, condensed tannins, inositol phosphates and the content of heavy ...
Summary: Β Five multiparous Finnish Ayrshire cows fed red clover silage-based diets were used in a 5 Γ 5 Latin square with 21-d experimental periods to evaluate the effects of various plant oils or camelina expeller on animal performance and milk fatty acid composition. In conclusion, moderate amounts of plant oils in diets based on red clover silage had no adverse ...
Dietary intake of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and possibly the incidence of some cancers, asthma and diabetes among other conditions. This study encompasses a review of the literature on dietary sources of UFA available for animals and their subsequent transfer into milk, meat (beef, lamb, pork, poultry) and eggs. Novel ...
