Corn and soybean meal based diets with increasing levels of ground peas, sub-species hortense cultivar Alfetta (0, 20 and 40%), were formulated to evaluate the nutritional value of this ingredient with 18 castrated male pigs of commercial hybrids averaging 40 kg. The study also aimed to determine the apparent digestible and metabolizable energy and nitrogen retentions of peas. A total period of four weeks was used in which body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion and amount of feces and […]
