Limits to Usage
Anti-nutritional factors include erucic acid, glucosinolates, tannins and sinapine. Checks should be made on the erucic acid and glucosinolate levels as they are unpalatable to ruminants, however these are normally low in new varieties.
Storage / Processing
Correct processing will produce a stable product with little anti-nutritional factors.
