Line extraction meal

Linseed extraction meal is a by-product of the extraction of linseed oil from the seeds of the linseed(Linum usitatissimum L.) by extraction. Linseed extraction meal has a special dietary significance due to the formation of mucus in the gastrointestinal tract. This mucilage is formed by swelling of the outer epidermal wall of the linseed in the aqueous medium and consists of various carbohydrates (including rhamnose, galactose and xylose). A number of beneficial properties are attributed to the mucilages, such as stimulation of intestinal peristalsis and a positive effect on the rumen microbes in ruminants. Linseed meal contains approx. 33 % crude protein, approx. nine % crude fibre and a high proportion of hemicelluloses as well as other non-starch polysaccharides, which are responsible for the formation of mucus. In animal nutrition, linseed extraction meal is mainly used in compound feed for ruminants(calves, cows) and horses (broodmares, stallions, foals) due to its protein content and dietary effect.
