In the European Union the production quantity of oilseeds (e.g. soybean (SB) and rapeseed (RS)) and their protein-rich by-products increase due to the ban of meat and bone meal and its by-products in diets for livestock (Commission Regulation, 2001) and furthermore due to an increase of biodiesel processing (Lywood and Pinkney., 2012). In the fiscal year 2014/2015, 296 million tons of oilseed meals (OSM) have been produced worldwide (USDA, 2015). Of the total global production of OSM, soybean meal (SBM) represents 68%, followed by 14% rapeseed meal (RSM), 5% cotton seed meal, 5% sunflower seed meal and 3% palm kernel meal (USDA, 2015).
