“…However, rape seeds contain nutritionally unfavorable substances such as glucosinolates, sinapin, tannin and phytate which may negatively influence many physiological processes and a health status by reducing the level of thyroid hormones, decreasing mineral absorption and changing the activities of liver enzymes in the blood of poultry [5,21,24].
