The Canola Council of Canada is conducting research into the potential of canola meal to reduce methane emissions from dairy cattle while increasing milk production. The study found that feeding dairy cows diets containing higher percentages of canola meal led to increased milk production and lower methane emissions. Canola meal's higher fat content is believed to contribute to the reduction in methane emissions, and the research suggests that there is no need to restrict canola meal in dairy diets. The study's findings are expected to be beneficial for the dairy industry, as canola meal is more locally available and less expensive than soybean meal.
