Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) represent an essential source of food protein for many people in Sudan, especially those who cannot afford to buy animal meat. The demand for faba bean seeds is greatly increased in recent years, and consequently its production area was extended southward where the climate is marginally suitable. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate seed yield and nutritional q...

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...

The proportion of labeled (14)C-glycerol incorporated into phospholipids and the fatty acid composition of three phospholipids in germinating seeds and seedlings of chilling-sensitive lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus L.) and chilling-resistant broad beans (Vicia faba L.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.) at 10 and 25 C were determined. During the imbibition of seeds (first 24 hours), lima beans were sen...

The objective of this study was to compare the DVE/OEB system (DVE = truly absorbed protein in the small intestine; OEB = degraded protein balance) and the NRC-2001 model in the prediction of supply of protein to dairy cows from 46 selected concentrates: malting-type barley (cv Harrington), feedtype barley (cv Valier), field tick beans (Vicia faba), white albus lupins (Lupinus albus), whole soy...

Faba beans (Vicia faba L.), also known as fava beans, like other crops, are influenced by several factors: their genotype, environment, and management, well the interaction between these, have an important impact on seed yielding quality traits. This study was conducted at three locations in South Italy 2017 2019 to evaluate sowing date effect yield components of Vicia L., originating from cool...

Eighty-five samples from fifteen different legume seed lines generally available in the UK were examined by measurements of their net protein utilization by rats and by haemagglutination tests with erythrocytes from a number of different animal species. From these results the seeds were classified into four broad groups. Group a seeds from most varieties of kidney (Phaseolus vulgaris), runner (...

Effects of increased MP supply on the degree of periparturient relaxation of immunity (PPRI) in sheep may be dependent on quality of supplied MP. Here we tested the hypothesis that additional MP supply from rations based on xylose-treated soybean meal would be more effective than from rations based on faba beans in reducing the degree of PPRI, as indicated by nematode egg excretion. Twenty-four...

P UTRESCINE has been found to induce chromosome aberrations in cells undergoing meiosis in Oenothera [8] but not in cells undergoing mitosis in roots of Vicia faba [9]. In re-examining the action of putrescine and cadaverine in less toxic concentrations [cf. 91, we have tested the ability of these polyamines either to induce chromosome breakage or to upset the process of chromosome condensation...

Weaned V-line rabbits aged 6 weeks (n: 84), were randomly distributed into 7 experimental groups to evaluate barley, corn-cob meal (CCM), Alfalfa hay, berseem hay (Egyptian clover) and dried Faba bean straw (DFBS). The evaluation included chemical analysis and effects of substituting 30% CCM instate of barley as an energy source with Alfalfa hay, berseem hay, or DFBS each at 25% as a fiber sour...
