A regression analysis of the data for 21 to 28 d of age showed that the effects of the substitution of canola meal for SBM on daily weight gain were statistically significant (P < 0.05). An increased quadratic response was observed up to the 30% level of inclusion. Feed conversion improved up to the 20% level of inclusion of canola meal and decreased thereafter. Average BW increased up to the 19.1% level of canola meal and decreased thereafter
