## Abstract On the basis of literature data biological properties of rapeseed glucosinolates, and especially their influence on the growth and weight of animals were characterized. The aim was to determine a limiting value of these compounds in diets for particular animal species and age groups at

โฆ Synopsis
Although there is no clear evidence to fully describe the mechanism involvcd in glucosinolate-related effects on animal reproduction, lowered fertility in animals fed diets with rapeseed meal (RSM) inclusion is related to glucosinolate content in the diet. Negative effects can result both from multidirectional action of glucosinolates, malnutrition of mother due to the thyroid dysfunction, transfer of goitrogenic compounds to foetus and reduced transfer of nutritive compounds (e.g. iodine) through the placenta. The degree of reproduction impairment depends both on glucosinolate content and on the type of animal. Pregnant female rats are scnsitive to the presencc of glucosinolates, and the first symptoms of fcrtility impairment and lowering of offspring survival rate may occur at low glucosinolate levels, e.g. with diets containing low glucosinolate rapeseed meal (LG-RSM).
In the case of swine, the limiting value above which sows fertility may be impaired is 4 pmol of total glucosinolates per g diet and 8 mmol of daily intake of these compounds.
Opinions on the permittcd RSM inclusion in dict for hens are very divergent. Some authors recommend limiting of the RSM inclusion to lo%, while others did not find any lowering of egg production in hens fed diets with two-or three-fold greater RSM inclusion rates.
Most long-term experiments with heifers, cows and ewes indicate that ruminants toleratc the level of glucosinolate in LG-RSM although feeding this fodder as the only high-protein concentrate component may lead to impaired fertility.
Zusammenfassung
Rapssamenmehl-Glucosinolate und ihre antinutritiven Effekte. 5. Milt. Tier-Reproduktion Obwohl Beweisc fur die vollstindige Beschreibung der Mechanismen bci Glucosiiiolat-Effekten auf die ticrische Reproduktion fehlen, wird doch die verminderte Fertilitlt von Tieren, deren Futter Rapssamenmehl (RSM) enthllt, auf den Glucosinolatgehalt des Futters zuruckgefiihrt. Negative Effekte konnen auf folgenden Ursachcn beruhcn: Vielscitige Wirkung von Glucosinolaten, Fehlerniihrung des Muttcrtieres wcgen der Thyrcodysfunktion, Transfer goitrogcner Vcrbindungcn in den Fetus und reduzierter Transfer nutritiver Verbindungen (z. B. Jod) durch dic Plazenta. Der Grad der Beeintriichtigung der Rcproduktion beruht auf dem Glucosinolatgehalt und auf der Tierart. Tragende weibliche Ratten sind cmpflindlich gegenubcr der Anwesenheit Jon Glucosinolatcn. Die ersten Symptome einer Fertilitats-Beeintrdchtigung und Erniedrigung dcr U berlebensrate der Nachkommen konncn bereits bei niedrigen Glucosinolatmengen im Futter auftreten, z. B. bei 10% Rapssamenmchl mit niedrigem Glucosinolatgehalt (LG-RSM).
Bei Schweinen liegt der Grenzwert fur Fertilitatsbeeintrichtigung von Sauen bei 4 pmol Gcsamtglucosinolat pro g Futter und 8 mmol tlglicher Aufnahme dicser Verbindungen. Die Meinungen uber die zulassigen RSM-Anteile im Futter fur Hennen sind sehr unterschiedlich. Einige Autoren empfehlen Grenzwerte fur den RSM-Anteil von looh, wiihrend andere keine Erniedrigung der Eiproduktion von Hennen feststellen, deren Futter zwei-oder dreifach hohere RSM-Gehalte aufweisen.

## Abstract This paper surveys the effect of some technological processes based on modified traditional way of obtaining oil from rapeseeds and employing polar solvents and enzymes on the content of glucosinolates and nutritional quality of the end products. Special emphasis has been put on the tec
This review, which will be presented in seven parts is concerned with the use of rapeseed meal as an animal feeding stuff. The presence of glucosinolates in the meal limits its use due to a number of antinutritional and physiological effects. Whilst not in itself exhaustive, this review updates earl
