# Canola meal research shows an increase in milk production and feed cost savings | Canola Council of Canada

> Dr. Kenneth Kalscheur presented research at the Penn State Dairy Nutrition Workshop showing canola meal can replace soybean meal in dairy cow diets. Trials showed milk yield gains of 0.6 to 1.4 litres daily for mid-lactation cows and 4.45 litres for early lactation cows, often with feed cost savings.
