Rapeseed Expeller

Rapeseed Expeller

Rapeseed Expeller is a high energy, hot pressed rapeseed expeller supplying significantly higher energy (~10%) and post rumen protein digestibility than rape seed meal extract due to higher retained rumen friendly oil and avoidance of the heat used in the recovery of hexane used in extracted meals. This is a different to ‘cold’ pressed rape seed meal which, in the absence of heat, does not de-activate the enzyme myrosinase that breaks down glucosinolates to anti-nutritive factors that reduce performance.

• Rapeseed Expeller is available all year round, UK wide and is delivered direct to farm in bulk.

• Rapeseed Expeller should be stored out of direct sunlight, in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment
and should be used within three months of delivery.

Rapeseed Expeller is produced at a new state of the art rapeseed expelling facility, where whole rape seeds are heated and pressed to expel the oil without the use of a hexane solvent. Recovery of hexane solvent using heat has been shown to reduce protein digestibility, is not used in the manufacture of Rapeseed Expeller.

Rapeseed Expeller is a FEMAS assured fully traceable, product, marketed by Trident Feeds – a UFAS accredited merchant. Rapeseed Expeller is listed under Rapeseed expeller feed number 2.14.6 in the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials.
