Summary: The use of Camelina meal in animal diets may be limited by antinutritive compounds. The content of glucosinolates, phytic acid, sinapine and condensed tannins was evaluated in twelve accessions of Camelina sativa. Camelina showed the presence of three different glucosinolates in the meal, with differences among genotypes regarding the relative abundance of each glucosinolate.

Summary: Extensive new knowledge about agrotechnical aspects and agro-industrial exploitation of Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz was acquired between 1995-1998. Seed and oil cakes from ten different localities in Europe and in Scandinavia, were analyzed. Qualitative parameters significant to the biological value of the fodder, such as the content of glucosinolates, sinapine, condensed tannins, inositol phosphates and the content of heavy ...
Summary: Five multiparous Finnish Ayrshire cows fed red clover silage-based diets were used in a 5 × 5 Latin square with 21-d experimental periods to evaluate the effects of various plant oils or camelina expeller on animal performance and milk fatty acid composition. In conclusion, moderate amounts of plant oils in diets based on red clover silage had no adverse ...
Dietary intake of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and possibly the incidence of some cancers, asthma and diabetes among other conditions. This study encompasses a review of the literature on dietary sources of UFA available for animals and their subsequent transfer into milk, meat (beef, lamb, pork, poultry) and eggs. Novel ...
Summary: Late pregnancy is associated with moderate insulin resistance in ruminants. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of elevation of plasma NEFA concentration by abomasal infusions tallow (TAL) or camelina oil (CAM) on whole-body responses to exogenous glucose and insulin. We further assessed whether CAM, rich in C18:3n-3, enhances whole-body insulin sensitivity compared with TAL. These ...
Summary: The objectives of the present study were to investigate the nutritive value of camelina seeds (Camelina saliva L. Crantz) in ruminant nutrition and to use molecular spectroscopy as a novel technique to quantify the heat-induced changes in protein molecular structures in relation to protein digestive behavior in the rumen and intestine of dairy cattle. In this study, camelina seeds were used as a model for feed ...
