| Abstract: | 1. Certain rapeseed meals in the diet of hens laying brown eggs result in the production, from some birds, of eggs which have a “ fishy ” or “ crabby ” odour because of the presence of trimethylamine. 2. Such susceptible birds have been used to demonstrate that the activity can be extracted from rapeseed meal with appropriate solvents. |
