About canola meal and Canolamazing

Canola meal is a coproduct of canola oilseed processing. With its high protein content, canola meal is often used as a protein supplement for dairy rations. The ingredient provides an amino acid profile that is more similar to animal proteins than other vegetable proteins, and as such is an efficient source of amino acids for lactation and growth. Canolamazing.com provides the latest research findings, accurate feeding values for canola meal, as well as the popular 2019 Canola Meal Dairy Feed Guide.
