“…Taverner and Farrell (1981) found that the NDF content in cereal grain negatively influenced the availability of amino acids to pigs. A negative relationship between protein digestibility and fibre content in cereal grains was also found by Eggum and Beames (1983) in studies with pigs and rats.…”

“…Singh [12] found that the globulins constitute about 65% of total proteins. In general, pigeonpea is not rated superior for sulfur-containing amino acids [13], but it is not linked with low methionine content [14]. In comparison to other protein fractions, globulin is rather inferior in sulfurcontaining amino acids while albumin has high amino acid content.…”

Protein mal-nutrition is widespread among poor of developing and under developed countries. Since animal protein is beyond the reach of this group, their primary protein supply comes from plant based products. Amongst these, pigeonpea or red gram (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh) is an important food legume that can be grown under rainfed conditions with least inputs. Pigeonpea is rich in starch, protein, calcium, manganese, crude fiber, fat, trace elements, and minerals. Besides its high nutritional value, pigeonpea is also used as traditional folk medicine in India, China, Philippines and some other nations. Literature on this aspect show that pigeonpea is capable to prevent and cure a number of human ailments such as bronchitis, coughs, pneumonia, respiratory infections, dysentery, menstrual disorders, sores, wounds, abdominal tumors, tooth ache, and diabetes.

“…Consequently, there is a reduction in starch accumulation and a corresponding increase in hull and fibrous portions (Taverner et al 1975;Moir and Connor 1977;Salmon and O'Neil 1977;Batterham et al 1980;Taverner and Farrell 1981); protein and lysine content are usually higher in absolute terms but less available for monogastric animals because of a predominance of the gluten proteins (McDermott and Pace 1960;Deyoe and Shellenberger 1965;Eggum 1977).…”

Mould growth in field crops or stored grain reduces starch and lipid content, with consequent increases in fibre, and an overall reduction in digestible energy; palatability is often adversely affected. If these factors are allowed for, and mycotoxin concentrations are low, there are sound economic reasons for using this cheaper grain.Mycotoxins are common in stock feed but their effects on animal productivity are usually slight because either the concentration is too low or the animal is tolerant to the toxin. In Australia, aflatoxins occur in peanut by-products and in maize and sorghum if the grain is moist when stored. Zearalenone is found in maize and in sorghum and wheat in wetter regions. Nivalenol and deoxynivalenol are found in maize and wheat but at concentrations that rarely affect pigs, with chickens and cattle being even more tolerant. Other mycotoxins including cyclopiazonic acid, T-2 toxin, cytochalasins and tenuazonic acid are produced by Australian fungi in culture but are not found to be significant grain contaminants.Extremely mouldy sorghum containing Alternaria and Fusarium mycotoxins decreased feed conversion in pigs and chickens by up to 14%. However, E moniliforme-and Diplodia maydis-infected maize produced only slight reductions in feed intake by pigs and Ustilagoinfected barley produced no ill effects. Use of these grains would substantially increase profits if the grain can be purchased cheaply.
