Extract

Peas (Pisum sativum) are a good source of protein for pigs (Saini and Batterham, 1989) and can be substituted for soyabean meal (Gatel and Grosjean, 1990). However, there is relatively little information on the true replacement value of peas in terms of energy and protein. The present study was undertaken to compare extracted, dehulled soyabean meal and a spring variety of peas (Solara) when used as the sole source of supplementary protein or in combination.
