The abstract for a study looking at the inclusion of juncea canola meal instead of soybean meal on pigs 1 week post-weaning. Juncea canola meal is lower in fibre and higher in glucosinolates than napus canola meal, which could have an impact on palatability. From days 0-14 feed intake, efficiency, and growth performance were reduced with increased juncea inclusion. After day 14 there was no impact on growth performance with increasing levels of juncea, so it could be included in late nursery diets.
