The abstract for a study testing the effect of green canola seed on growth performance and carcass traits, with up to a 15% inclusion into diets. There was no difference in average daily gain, but feed intake increased with more canola seed because feed efficiency was lower. Aside from a lower dressing percent, the carcass characteristics were similar across treatments. Green canola seed can reduce feed costs per kg; however, the cost for kg gained in market weight remains similar.
