The abstract for a study looking at nursery pig feed preference using soybean meal, napus canola meal, or juncea canola meal. Soybean meal is commonly used in nursery diets, but using canola meal could reduce feed costs. Canola meal contains glucosinolates and a high fibre content, which may affect palatability. Using double-choice trials it was found soybean meal was highly preferred over either type of canola meal, but napus was preferred over juncea canola meal.
