The nutrient and glucosinolate content in "O" and "OO" rapeseed varieties was determined. In the "OO" variety the glucosinolate content was 85.7 % lower than in "O". The inclusion of "O" meal in the experiment mixture was tested in a feeding trial with 520 pigs of live weight 25-118 kg. The live weight gain (LWG) in the control group was 0.645 kg/pig/day within 144 days of fattening, and consumption was 3.41 kg/kg of LWG. The LWG in the experimental group ("O" meal) was 0.565 kg/pig/day, and consumption was 3.94 kg/kg of LWG within 165 days. The differences between the means were statistically significant (P less than 0.01).
