Rapeseed meal is mixed with river sand, and you need to watch out for it when buying
There is river sand in rapeseed meal
For some time now, the rapeseed meal the company has been receiving has commonly had one problem: microscopic examination (10X) reveals white crystals. After screening and then testing CP, ASH, and so on, it was concluded that this is not non-protein N, and is very likely river sand.
After tasting it, I became even more certain. It is impossible for manufacturers to all adulterate it in unison, so could it be that the rapeseed source used by manufacturers contains river sand...
Has anyone here encountered this?
--------------------------------------
This situation does indeed sometimes occur in rapeseed meal, but if it is fairly obvious, then it is deliberate adulteration. Generally, a small amount of sand may be used by manufacturers to adjust the ash content; some people explain it that way. It is a bit hard to believe.
--------------------------------------
It may be that soil and sand are brought in when the rapeseed is collected
--------------------------------------
If it happens only once, it may be because the rapeseed was a bit dirty; if several batches are like this, then it may be adulteration
--------------------------------------
Learned something, thanks everyone for the reminder!!

Hehe, making feed these days is really hard. Haha.
--------------------------------------
Hehe, I have also found this situation and suspect it is sand, but I have not tasted it, so I am not sure.

The situation of mixing in river sand is too common around here; the ash content test is around 10%, and I do not know whether simply deducting weight can cover it.
