The effects of crusning and of heat‐treatment of high‐glucosinolate rapeseed (cv. Jet Neuf) by infrared, microwave or hot‐air oven upon the utilisation of protein and upon the anti‐thyroid activity, measured in terms of thyroid weight and plasma tri‐iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) concentrations, were studied and comparisons made with crushed and untreated low glucosinolate rapeseed (Canola) and also with extruded soya bean. All treatments of Jet Neuf reduced net protein utilisation; crushing Jet Neuf produced the most severe deterioration. Jet Neuf also had greater anti‐thyroid activity. However, anti‐thyroid activity and protein utilisation were not highly correlated. None of the treatments applied to Jet Neuf produced improvements in protein utilisation or diminished anti‐thyroid activity.
