The objective of this study was to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) protein and amino acids (AA) calculate digestible indispensable AA score (DIAAS) three varieties Canadian grown pulses (faba bean, lentil, yellow pea). Three steam-pelleted (80 °C) diets (faba/lentil/pea; 40% inclusion) a nitrogen-free diet were fed eight cannulated growing pigs in 4 × replicated Latin squar...

Legumes are an alternative to animal foods due their high protein content. Like other legumes, Vicia faba (faba bean) has However, bean breeding with classical methods is challenging inbreeding depression, self-incompatibility, and abortive embryo formation. The inadequacy of the problems in fertilization biology plant limits production new varieties. Therefore, importance using vitro haploidiz...

The influence on the nutrients content (soluble sugars, starch, dietary fibre and calcium) and antinutritional factors (a-galactosides and phytic acid) of faba beans (Vicia faba, L. major) of soaking in different solutions (distilled water, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate solutions), cooking the presoaked seeds, dryheating and germination have been studied. Soaking brought about a decrease ...

Article history: Received 2 December 2009 Received in revised form 18 October 2010 Accepted 23 December 2010 The study was conducted to determine chemical composition and standardised ileal digestibilities (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) in currently available grain legume cultivars for growing pigs. Three consecutive experiments were conducted with six barrows each, fitted wit...

Broomrape weeds (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are root holoparasites that feed off a wide range of important crops. Among them, Orobanche crenata attacks legumes complicating their inclusion in cropping systems along the Mediterranean area and West Asia. The detrimental effect of broomrape parasitism in crop yield can reach up to 100% depending on infection severity and the broomrape-crop as...

the objective of this study was to obtain relationships between plant leaf area (cm2plant-1) with leaf dry weight (g plant-1), vegetative dry weight (g plant-1) and plant height (cm) in faba bean (vicia faba l.). the experiment was conducted at the research farm of gorgan university of agricultural sciences in 2011-2012 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block des...
