Abstract
In two trials with a total of 120 growing pigs (23-102 kg) the effects of incorporating either of three OO-rapeseed meal levels (00-RSM, 0; 100 and 200 g kg(-1)) into cereal based diets on the transfer of goitrin into skeletal muscle (n=60) and on weights of thyroid glands (n=96), livers and kidneys (n=120) were investigated. The concentrations of alkenyl-glucosinolates of the RSM batches used in Trial 1 and 2 differed (12.4 and 6.4 mu moles g(-1) fat-free dry matter, respectively). The respective progoitrin concentrations were 7.5 and 3.8 mu moles g(-1) fat-free dry matter. Corresponding concentrations of indole-glucosinolates were 0.62 and 0.73 mu moles g(-1) fat-free dry matter, respectively. Loin muscle goitrin concentrations averaged 8.3 and 3.8 mu moles g(-1) in Trial 1 and 2, respectively, and were thus affected by dietary progoitrin concentration (P
