Extract

During the past 20 years, canola has passed peanut, sunflower and, most recently, cottonseed in worldwide production. At present, some varieties of canola seed are cultivated in Iran particularly Okapi, Opera and SLM046 in east Azerbaijan province. Its components have been altered through genetic selection which markedly reduced its detrimental components. (Leeson and Summers, 2001). There is growing interest within the feed industry to use full-fat oilseeds in poultry diets. There are not enough data of nutrient composition of full-fat canola seed in the country. So the objective of this study was determining of nutrient composition consist of chemical Compounds, mineral content and gross energy in three varieties of canola seed from Iran.
