Extract

Several experiments have been conducted on the value of rapeseed meal (RSM) for dairy cows (Laarveld et al., 1976). The crude protein (CP) content of RSM is almost high (360-420 g kg-1 of DM) with a good amino acid balance. The in situ degradability of RSM was extensively studied (Kendall et al., 1991). The aim of the present study was to determine the chemical composition, in situ degradable coefficients, and ruminal and post-ruminal dry matter (DM) and CP disappearances of an Iranian variety of rapeseed meal (SLM sp.).
