Glucosinolate
Definition: glucosinolate
glucosinolate: A compound left in rape meal after the oil has been extracted. Also called glucos. The animals convert the compound to toxin after eating it. Although glucosinolates can be removed by processing, plant breeders are trying to breed new varieties of rape that are low in glucos, and therefore avoid the extra production cost. Managing glucosinolate levels in feed ensures livestock health and prevents toxicity.
