The present invention relates to a protein depleted rapeseed meal composition comprising, based on dry matter content, from 20 to 35% (w/w) of protein and from 15 to 35% (w/w) of oil, wherein said meal comprises a total amount of cruciferins and napins of less than 1% (w/w).

The invention relates to a composition for use in the prevention or treatment of Salmonellosis in animals, said use comprising administering the composition to the animal, wherein the composition contains at least 0.01% by weight of dry matter of rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) polysaccharides having a molecular weight of more than 2 kDa and having a backbone consisting of galacturonic acid residues and rhamnose residues, said rhamnose residues being contained in alpha(1.fwdarw.4)-galacturonic-alpha(1.fwdarw.2)-rhamnose residues, wherein the molar ratio of galacturonic acid residues to rhamnose residues in the RG-I polysaccharides is within the range of 50:1 to 1:1. The use of RG-I polysaccharides in the treatment or prevention of Salmonellosis provides an alternative for the widespread use of antibiotics. Furthermore, these RG-I polysaccharides may be used to prevent or treat Salmonellosis caused by Salmonella strains with resistance to antibiotics.
