The research analyzed the environmental performance of the canola agricultural production process used in the southern region of Brazil. The Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) considered both the canola grain production process (agricultural stage) and the processing of grains (industrial stage) to produce oil and bran, the main products in the chain.Unprecedented for rapeseed (Brassicanapus L. var. oleifera), the data collected accounted for all inputs of materials and energy for the production, use an

The growing biofuel industry generates by-products that have shown promise as energy and protein feeds in ruminant diets. The objective of this project was to determine the effects of by-products of biodiesel production, obtained from different sources of oilseeds, on the in vitro degradability of nutrients, in vitro ruminal fermentation and methane gas production. Palisadegrass ( Brachiaria brizantha) was used as a model. Its isolated incubation was considered as a contro ...
