Extrusion cooking improves the metabolisable energy of faba beans and the amino acid digestibility in broilers

The effect of varying levels of high- and low-tannin faba bean (<i>Vicia faba</i> L.) seeds on gastrointestinal function and growth performance in turkeys

“…Such difference is consistent with the classification of FB varieties grown in Poland, according to which Amulet is a low-tannin variety and Bobas is a high-tannin variety (COBORU, 2011). In our study the tannin content of LT FB (<1 mg · g −1 DM) was similar to that reported by Hejdysz et al (2016).…”

The effect of addition of yellow lupin seeds (<i>Lupinus luteus</i> L.) to laying hen diets on performance and egg quality parameters

“…In comparison to many publications presenting the results of the use of yellow lupin, pea, faba beans in animal nutrition (e.g., Olkowski et al, 2005;Olkowski, 2011;Kocher et al, 2000;Kaczmarek et al, 2014Kaczmarek et al, , 2015Hejdysz et al, 2015Hejdysz et al, , 2016Rutkowski et al, 2016), studies concerning the inclusion of lupin seeds into laying hen diets are not so common (Watkins and Mirosh, 1987;Hughes and Kocher, 1998;Mierlita, 2013;Krawczyk et al, 2015;Rutkowski et al, 2016). The inclusion of 25% yellow lupin seeds into diet caused a decrease in the laying rate of hens as compared to the effects of control diet and treatments with 10 and 20% lupin addition.…”

“…However, in countries that are not climatically adapted to soyabean production the inclusion of home-grown legume seeds into diets for non-ruminant animals as an alternative to soyabean products has been receiving attention (Laudadio and Tufarelli, 2011b;Kaczmarek et al, 2015;Rutkowski et al, 2015;Hejdysz et al, 2016Hejdysz et al, , 2017Kasprowicz-Potocka et al, 2016). In the past, the use of yellow lupin as a source of protein for poultry was limited due to its high alkaloid, nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) and other anti-nutrients contents that negatively affected the bird performance (Gdala and Buraczewska, 1996;Knudsen, 1997;Gdala, 1998;Wasilewko and Buraczewska, 1999;Jamroz and Kubizna, 2008;Laudadio and Tufarelli, 2011a).…”

The effect of diets containing raw and fermented faba beans on gut functioning and growth performance in young turkeys

“…FB (Vicia faba L.) are considered a valuable source of protein, energy and other nutrients in poultry nutrition. However, the presence of antinutritional factors such as tannins, protease inhibitors, oligosaccharides and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), as well as a low content of sulphur-containing amino acids reduce the nutritional value of FB, and can negatively affect nutrient utilisation and animal performance (Hejdysz et al, 2016). Oligosaccharides ABSTRACT.…”

“…Legume seeds have been used primarily in diets for broiler chickens (Moschini et al, 2005;Hejdysz et al, 2016), but also for turkeys (Zduńczyk et al, 2014a;Przywitowski et al, 2016) and laying hens (Drażbo et al, 2014;Zduńczyk et al, 2014b). Faba beans (FB) are among the most extensively researched legume species in Europe, due to their high content of protein (about 26%) and starch (about 30%) as well as high concentrations of amino acids, comparable with soyabean meal (SBM) (Fru-Nji et al, 2007).…”
