This project is a collaborative effort between West Central Pelleting of Wilkie, SK, the University of Saskatchewan and Western Beef Development Centre and is designed to develop strategically blended feed products derived from by-products of the grain, pulse and oilseed sectors using off-grade canola or flax as fat sources. The research will show the value of feeding pelleted high fat feed products to over-wintering pregnant beef cows and the subsequent benefit on their calves following calving (i.e. morbidity and mortality; birth weights, growth, carcass quality). Development of high fat feed products for over-wintering pregnant beef cows will form the basis of a product line for West Central Pelleting Ltd. As well the results will be available to the wider feed industry for uptake. The project will provide western Canadian beef producers with alternative, lower cost feed alternatives for over-wintering cows and potentially enhance calf survivability and growth. By helping to control rising feed prices, this project will contribute to the overall health of the Canadian beef industry. Similarly, by adding value to by-products of the grain and oilseed processing sectors, the project will enhance the viability of several agricultural related processing sectors including canola, ethanol, oat, pulse and grain cleaning. As such the project will add value to the rural economy. The importance of this project to the feed, grain and oil seed sectors is evidenced by the fact that it has received financial support from industry including West Central Pelleting Ltd. and the Western Grains Research Foundation.

该项目是 SK 威尔基 West Central Pelleting、萨斯喀彻温大学和西部牛肉发展中心之间的合作项目，旨在利用非等级产品开发源自谷物、豆类和油籽行业副产品的战略混合饲料产品。油菜籽或亚麻作为脂肪来源。该研究将展示饲喂颗粒状高脂肪饲料产品对越冬怀孕肉牛的价值以及其产犊后对犊牛的后续益处（即发病率和死亡率；出生体重、生长、胴体质量）。为越冬怀孕肉牛开发的高脂肪饲料产品将构成 West Central Pelleting Ltd 产品线的基础。同时，其结果也将供更广泛的饲料行业采用。该项目将为加拿大西部的牛肉生产商提供越冬奶牛的替代性、成本较低的饲料替代品，并有可能提高小牛的生存能力和生长能力。通过帮助控制不断上涨的饲料价格，该项目将为加拿大牛肉行业的整体健康做出贡献。同样，通过增加谷物和油籽加工部门的副产品的价值，该项目将提高油菜籽、乙醇、燕麦、豆类和谷物清洁等多个农业相关加工部门的生存能力。因此，该项目将为农村经济增加价值。该项目对饲料、谷物和油籽行业的重要性体现在它得到了包括 West Central Pelleting Ltd. 和 Western Grains Research Foundation 在内的行业的财政支持。
