Using Oilseedrape And Sunflower Oils To Produce Fuel And Feed For HerdsMadrid, Spain (SPX) Jul 27, 2010 The oil extracted from oleaginous plants can be used as a fuel for agricultural vehicles without any reduction in their performance - thus enabling farmers to have greater energy self-sufficiency. Besides this, a sub-product known as oilseedcake is extracted, and which is optimum fodder for animal herds, given its significant protein and fatty acids content. The Basque Institute for Agricultural Research and Development -Neiker-Tecnalia- is investigating of the use of the oil for fuel and the stor ... read more |
