Comparison of moisture content, crude protein, and amino acid profiles between soybean meal and western Canadian canola meal. Values presented for canola meal are the mean and standard deviations of samples collected from five different crushing plants across western Canada. The origin and variability of the soybean meal were not disclosed [68].
