Rapeseed Meal Fermentation Services

Rapeseed meal (RSM) is the second most abundant protein meal in the world and is rich in crude protein with a balanced composition of essential amino acids. Currently, RSM is only about 60% of the price of soybean meal. Replacing a portion of soybean meal with RSM can not only alleviate the shortage of soybean meal resources but also reduce feed costs.

However, RSM contains glucosinolate (GS), tannins, phytic acid, and other anti-nutritional factors, which can affect the palatability of the feed and reduce the intake and nutrient utilization. In particular, degradation products of GS can damage liver and kidney functions, interfere with iodine availability and cause thyroid dysfunction, thus limiting its use in livestock and poultry rations.

To meet the large demand for fermented RSM, Lifeasible can provide microbial solid-state fermented RSM to improve the nutritional value of RSM and its nutrient digestibility and utilization in growing and fattening livestock and poultry animals. It has obvious advantages to reduce the use of drug additives in feed, reduce bacterial drug resistance and improve the quality and safety of livestock and poultry products.

Excellent strain screening and culture service

We can screen out excellent strains that can degrade RSM anti-nutritional factors and higher enzyme production by measuring dry matter, crude protein, water-soluble protein, acid-soluble protein, crude ash, amino acids, and other indicators. And we will combine them in culture to ensure that different strains can play a synergistic role and form a common growth advantage under the same preservation conditions.

Selectable strains

Mixed bacteria solid fermentation RSM service

• Strain expansion culture
• Mixed fermentation by proportional inoculation into a solid fermentation medium
• Fermentation product measurement. Including determination of a total number of live beneficial bacteria, the fraction of true protein, GS content (high-performance liquid chromatography), thioglycoside content (palladium chloride spectrophotometric method), peptide yield, amino acid and tannin content (spectrophotometric method).

RSM process optimization service for mixed bacteria solid-state fermentation

We use RSM as raw material, adopt different evaluation indexes for different strains according to your needs, and evaluate the fermentation effect with the combined value as the evaluation index after weighting method calculation. We can then optimize the fermentation process.

Scope of application

• Pigs, chickens, ducks, fish, ruminants

Lifeasible provides microbial fermentation service for RSM, which can effectively improve the palatability of RSM, increase the content of nutrients such as water-soluble protein, acid-soluble protein, amino acids, and small peptides, and effectively remove the content of toxic substances from RSM. It is the best choice in the field of feed addition and improvement. If you are interested in our services or have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We are looking forward to cooperating with you in RSM fermentation.
