Grain legumes are a cost-effective alternative for the animal protein in improving the diets of the poor in South-East Asia and Africa. Legumes, through symbiotic nitrogen fixation, meet a major part of their own N demand and partially benefit the following crops of the system by enriching soil. In realization of this sustainability advantage and to promote pulse production, United Nations had ...

The present study evaluates the consequences of a change in pig and poultry protein nutrition through compound feed over time France, on raw materials consumption, economic performances, environmental impacts. It has been conducted using “Prospective Aliments” model by Céréopa, which applies principles linear programming at national scale (France). is based prospective approach. A decrease 1 2 ...

In previous studies, we found that the consumption of legumes decreased bone turnover in ovariectomized rats. The purpose of the present study is to determine whether the protective effects on bone mineral density (BMD) and the microarchitecture of a diet containing legumes are comparable. In addition, we aim to determine their protective actions in bones by studying bone specific gene expressi...

Proanthocyanidins (PA) (condensed tannins) and hydrolyzable tannins (HT) are the two major classes of tannins. Proanthocyanidins are flavonoid polymers. Hydrolyzable tannins are polymers of gallic or ellagic acid esterified to a core molecule, commonly glucose or a polyphenol such as catechin. Proanthocyanidins are the most common type of tannin found in forage legumes. Problems in the analysis...

Soil N is a major factor limiting crop production in maize-based agriculture in the tropics. In this study, soil N dynamics and efficiency of N use by maize was investigated in five cropping systems (CSs) over two annual cropping phases. The CSs comprised cereal-legume (CS1, CS2, CS3), cereal-cereal (CS4) and cereal-bare fallow (CS5) rotations with three rates of N fertiliser application to mai...

The imbalance between the crop production and population growth is currently major issue in Ethiopia. To feed growing population, increasing of food through more types same field as an intercropping right strategy. study was aimed at evaluating profitability sorghum-legume on yield sorghum. Intercropping sorghum with legumes crops increases land productivity its Land Equivalent Ratio greater th...
