Effet, sur quelques paramètres sanguins, de l'addition de tourteau de canola CV. Tower à la ration des truies.

EFFECT OF THE ADDITION OF CANOLA CV. TOWER MEAL TO THE RATION OF SOWS ON SOME OF THEIR BLOOD PARAMETERS: The effect of substituting in sow diet soybean meal by canola meal (10%) and litter size on different blood constituents were studied. At day 110 of pregnancy, at weaning and at day 3 of the estrous cycle following weaning, canola meal and litter size did not affect the levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, total protein and blood urea nitrogen. However, some blood parameters varied significantly among physiological stages for the same animal. Within physiological stages, large differences were observed between animals for some metabolites.
