Mustard cake

Mustard cake is an excellent high-protein feed additive. Mustard oil cake has the following composition: crude protein content - 22, 44%; fat - 6, 88%; fiber - 19, 93; ashes - 6, 10%; MAP - 43, 58%; calcium - 5, 33 g / kg; phosphorus - 5, 6 g / kg; magnesium - 1, 46 g / kg; iron - 134, 72 mg / kg; zinc - 29, 69 mg / kg; manganese -63, 62 mg / kg; copper - 10, 38 mg / kg. The fatty acid content of mustard cake (%): erucic acid - 10, 22; gondoinova - 7, 35; peanut - 0, 40; linolenic - 10, 39; linoleic - 31, 99; oleic - 31, 24; stearic - 1, 59; Palmitoleic - 147; palmitic - 5, 35. Mostly in mustard oilcake, unsaturated fatty acids emphasize its value. The acid number of mustard cake is 14.03 mgKOH, the peroxide value is 0, 063% J2. Thus, mustard cake contains 12-14 MJ of exchange energy, 0, 89 feed units, and the crude protein content reaches 23%, which allows it to be attributed to high-protein feed additives. The use of mustard meal in the feeding of young pigs provides a reduction in feed costs per 1 kg of growth for feed units by 9, 7 - 15, 4%, metabolic energy by 10, 1 - 20, 4% and digestible protein by 10, 1%. The inclusion of mustard meal in the diet of sows increases fertility - by 15, 6%, the weight of newborn piglets - by 15, 1%, the number of piglets at weaning - by 18, 0%, the safety of the offspring - by 8, 3%. At the same time, the profitability of pork production is increased by 48, 7 - 63%. The use of mustard cake in feeding chickens has a positive effect, as it contributes to an increase in egg production of chickens by 10, 2-12, 7%
