Brenes, A., Rotter, B. A., Marquardt, R. R. and Guenter, W. 1993. The nutritional value of raw, autoclaved and dehulled peas (Piszrz sativum L.) in chicken diets as affected by enzyme supplementation. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 73: 605 614. The effects ofadded crude enzyme preparations, autoclaving and dehulling on the nutritional value of diets containing a low-tannin (Trapper) and high-tannin (Maple)...

Dissipation and persistence study of imidacloprid on peas as seed treatment revealed presence 6.47 9.92 mg kg-1 residues green pea leaves at a dose 1.8 g 3.6 a.i. per kg seed, respectively after 19 days treatment. Residues dissipated below limit quantification 0.01 49 54 were found in immature pod with succulent seeds, seeds (shelled), mature soil dry fodder (without root pod).

Biodegradable poly(ester amide) (PEA) biomaterials derived from α-amino acids, diols, and diacids are promising materials for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery because of their optimized properties and susceptibility for either hydrolytic or enzymatic degradation. The objective of this work was to synthesize and characterize biodegradable PEAs based on the α-a...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of micronization (infrared heat treatment), dehulling, or enzyme supplementation on the nutritive value of three cultivars (Impala, Radley, and Sirius) of peas in laying hens. In Experiment 1, 280 White Leghorn hens were fed diets containing micronized and dehulled peas for a period of 12 wk. The dietary inclusion of peas was 600 g/kg (cor...

Introduction Grass pea consumption leads to neurolathyrism and a safer use of this environmentally adaptable crop needs cultivars with decreased neurotoxin levels. Were they cross-compatible, grass peas would be useful genetic resources for disease resistance breeding of peas (Pisum sativum L.). In vitro selection (9) and gene transfer may provide grass peas better adapted for consumption, whil...
