TL;DR: Results indicate that cold water extraction can remove toxic factors in rapeseed meal while keeping good nutritional value and glucosinolate rich extract will require further fractionation in order to isolate the factor(s) of toxicity.

TL;DR: Balance trials indicated that the availability of the limiting amino acid(s) was lower than other essential amino acids for each protein source, and differences in PER of the diets paralleled the levels of the first limiting aminoacid for rat growth.
Abstract: Several oilseed and legume protein products were fed to rats as the sole source of dietary protein, and in blends with cereals for the determination of protein efficiency ratio (PER) and biological availability of amino acids. In addition oilseed protein isolates were fed to mice for the determination of PER. Results of the mouse study revealed that the adjusted PER (casein=100) for Target rapeseed isolate (108) was higher than those of sunflower (74), safflower (77), soybean (86) or flax (92) isolates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the energy input and output for winter rapeseed cultivation and biodiesel production from rapeseed oil, and the average rapeseed and straw yield were 2144.4 kg and 1154.6 kg per hectare cultivated area.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the energy input and output for winter rapeseed cultivation and biodiesel production from rapeseed oil. The total energy use for winter rapeseed cultivation and biodiesel production proceses were 10485.04 MJ/ha and 9199.48 MJ/ha, respectively. The total energy inputs for winter rapeseed cultivation were consisted of 2599.15 MJ/ha direct energy input and 7885.89 MJ/ha indirect energy input. The total energy input was calculated as 4889.66 MJ/t for winter rapeseed cultivation. The average rapeseed and straw yield were 2144.4 kg and 1154.6 kg per hectare cultivated area, respectively. The energy output of rapeseed 56826.6 MJ/ha, if only the seed was taken into account. The output/input ratio for rapeseed cultivation was 7.30 if straw was included. The net energy production was calculated as 66085.22 MJ per hectare of cultivated area. The total energy input was 19684.52 MJ/ha for rapeseed biodiesel production. The energy consumed for the conversion of refined rapese...

TL;DR: Body weight gain, egg production and egg size were lower with the rapeseed meal diets than with the soybean meal diets, and Thyroid glands of the birds fed rapeeed meal were markedly hypertrophied.
