The effects of feeding increasing levels of expeller-pressed (EP) canola meal in substitution
for soybean meal as an energy and amino acid source were evaluated in 240 weaned pigs
with an initial body weight of 7.3±0.6 kg. Five pelleted wheat-based diets containing 0,
50, 100, 150 or 200 g EP canola meal/kg were formulated to contain 10.0 MJ net energy
(NE)/kg and 1.18 g standardised ileal digestible (SID) lysine/MJ NE and were fed for 4 wk
starting 1 wk after weaning at 19 days of age. Expeller-pressed canola meal was added at the
expense of soybean meal and the diets were balanced for NE using canola oil and for amino
acids using crystalline lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan.
