“…Starch content was determined in chickpea, experimental diets and ileal digesta by an enzymatic method (Longstaff and McNab, 1991). Tannins, phytate, a -galactosides and sapogenol-b contents were analysed in chickpeas following the methods of Swain and Hillis (1959), Burbano et al (1995), Saini and Gladstones (1986) and Muzquiz et al (1993) respectively. For amino acid analysis, chickpea samples were hydrolysed according to the method of Jones et al (1981).…”

1. Two experiments were carried out to determine the effect of inclusion of raw (kabuli and desi) and autoclaved (desi) chickpea seeds in wheat-based starter diets in chickens grown to 28 d of age on the performance, digestive organ sizes, nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolisable energy (AMEn), ileal apparent protein and starch digestibilities (APD and ASD) and intestinal alpha-amylase and trypsin activities. 2. In the first experiment, diets were formulated to contain 0, 150, 300 and 450 g/kg of raw kabuli chickpea seeds. Increasing the proportion of seed in the diet negatively influenced body weight gain, food intake and food efficiency. The relative weights of the pancreas, liver and gizzard and the relative lengths of duodenum, jejunum, ileum and caeca were increased significantly when the chickpea seeds were included in the diets. Correspondingly, APD, ASD, alpha-amylase and trypsin activities and AMEn were reduced significantly when the chickpea seed was incorporated in the diets. 3. In the 2nd experiment, diets were formulated to contain 75 and 150 g/kg of raw and autoclaved desi chickpea seeds. Weight gain and food intake of the chicks given desi chickpea diets were significantly reduced compared with those fed on the control diet. Increasing the proportion of seed in the diet negatively influenced body weight gain, food intake and food efficiency. Moreover, a significant increment in the relative weights of liver and pancreas, and in the relative lengths of duodenum, ileum and caeca was observed when the concentration of chickpea seeds in the diets was increased. Feeding autoclaved seeds significantly increased the weight gains and the food intakes. However, food efficiency was not modified by the autoclaving. Relative weights of gizzard and liver and relative lengths of ileum were decreased significantly by the inclusion of autoclaved desi chickpea in the diet. 4. We concluded that the inclusion of kabuli (up to 450 g/kg) and desi (up to 150 g/kg) chickpea seeds produced a negative effect on the performance of the birds, and an increment in the relative weights and lengths of the digestive organs. In addition, the incorporation of kabuli chickpea produced a reduction of protein and starch digestibilities, alpha-amylase and trypsin activities, and AMEn of food compared with the birds given the control diet. Autoclaved treatment of desi chickpea improved the performance of the birds.

“…The author found that treatment of meal with 60% methanol/water solution (60) resulted in incomplete extraction of the a-galactosides. On the other hand, extraction of plant material in boiling aqueous ethanol (63) or in aqueous ethanol at 65 °C (64) or in water at 30 °C (65) afforded comparable results for some seeds. Muzquiz et al (66) evaluated two procedures for extraction of a-galactosides from lupin species.…”

Alpha-galactosides of sucrose, namely raffinose, stachyose and verbascose, are widely distributed in higher plants, especially leguminous seeds. In addition the presence of galactopinitol, galactinol, mannitriose and melibiose in Brassica campestris, soybean and some legumes has been reported. Due to the absence of a -galactosidase activity in human and animal intestine mucosa, these oligosaccharides escape digestion and they are metabolized by bacteria to hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. Thus, they are considered to be the principal flatulence-causing factors present in food of plant origin. Furthermore, starch and hemicellulose may contribute to flatulence. A significant positive correlation, between the hydrogen production by rat and the content of α-galactosides of sucrose in legumes consumed, has been reported. Various methods for the removal of flatulence causing oligosaccharides including dehulling, soaking and/or cooking in water and in buffer solutions, irradiation, enzymatic treatment, germination and solvent extraction have been investigated. The pros and cons of these procedures are discussed.The oligosaccharides raffinose, stachyose and verbascose are broadly distributed in higher plants (7). They accumulate in leaves during photosynthesis (2) and in seeds during maturation (3). It is believed that the function of oligosaccharides of the raffinose family in higher plant is to store or transport carbohydrates (4, 5). Moreover, commonly observed accumulation of sucrose and its a-galactosides in leaves and seeds may contribute to cold acclimation and protection of membrane proteins and other biologically active substances from denaturation from the desiccation process toward dormancy (6,7,8). Galactinol is another a-galactoside sugar found in higher plants. This disaccharide acts as a transfer-intermediate for galactose in the biosynthesis of sugars of the raffinose family (2). In foods and feeds sugars of the raffinose family are flatulence causing due to the lack of a-galactosidase

“…The aforementioned oligosaccharides are not digested by the monogastric animals, and are therefore available for bacterial fermentation to produce short-chain fatty acids and gas (Guillon and Champ 2002). High levels of oligosaccharides, in particular α-galactosides, can by certain means be even considered as antinutritional factors, as their fermentation in monogastric animals can lead to the increased fluid retention, hydrogen production, and can impair the utilization of nutrients (Saini and Gladstones 1986). Therefore, the particular source and concentration of these compounds should always be tested in vivo.…”

Geigerová M., Švejstil R., Skřivanová E., Straková E., Suchý P. (2017): Effect of dietary lupin (Lupinus albus) on the gastrointestinal microbiota composition in broiler chickens and ducks. Czech J. Anim. Sci., 62, 369-376.The purpose of the study was to evaluate the amount of raffinose-series oligosaccharides (RSO) in soybean meal (SBM), whole white lupin seed meal (WLM), sunflower meal (SFM), and rapeseed oil meal (ROM) and to determine whether partial or complete dietary WLM replacement affected the numbers of bacteria in selected groups in the microbiota of broiler chickens and ducks without inducing any weight loss. Total counts of anaerobes, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and Escherichia coli in caecal samples from both ducks and broiler chickens, as well as in a crop chyme, in broiler chickens, were determined. Live weights before slaughter were determined. Both broiler chickens and ducks were fed a control diet with SBM (L 0 ) or diet containing 50% or 100% WLM as a substitute for SBM (groups L 50 and L 100 , respectively). In comparison with SBM, WLM contained significantly higher amounts of RSO, and the amounts of oligosaccharides in SFM (1.73 ± 0.26 g/100 g) and ROM (1.79 ± 0.14 g/100 g) were negligible compared to those in WLM (8.26 ± 0.14 g/100 g) and SBM (6.96 ± 0.21 g/100 g). The inclusion of lupin in chicken diets did not significantly affect the monitored bacterial groups in crop chyme, but a complete replacement of SBM with WLM (L 100 group) in chicken diets significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased the counts of lactobacilli in caecal samples. Partial (L 50 group) and complete (L 100 group) lupin supplementation in the duck diet significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased counts of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria by at least one order of magnitude. E. coli counts in poultry were not affected by changes in diet. The results of our study indicate that partial dietary replacement of SBM with WLM did not significantly affect the live weight of broiler chickens and ducks, but that complete replacement of SBM with WLM may lead to weight loss.
