Influence of Camelina sativa oilcake in organic broiler feeding on performance, carcass and meat quality
Project
Project code: FAL-OEL-02-016
Contract period: 01.06.2005

Purpose of research: Applied research
False flax (Camelina sativa L.) is a very beneficial oil seed in organic plant production. Its added value could be enhanced by using the oil cake in animal nutrition, which is very interesting for organic feeding due to the demand of farm grown crude protein and energy delivering plants. But European feed law does not allow that kind of utilization. An application for an amendment of the ordinance only seems promising, if it is possible to make a scientifically based proposal concerning the unproblematic amount of Camelina oil cake in the diet. Therefore in an organic feeding trial with a total of 192 broilers the effects of different amounts of Camelina oil cake (0%, 2,5%, 5% and 5% heat and pressure treated) in the diet on performance, carcass and meat quality were investigated.
