Description
What it is. Ers refers to the seeds of Ervum ervilia L., a grain legume. It is a raw material obtained by harvesting and cleaning the seeds, without particular technological processing.
What it is for. This legume seed is generally used as a source of protein and energy in diets for ruminants, pigs and poultry. It may partially replace other plant protein sources depending on local availability. Its use depends on the animal's physiological stage and the overall balance of the ration.
Points to watch. As with other legume seeds, compositional variability depending on origin and growing conditions should be taken into account. The presence of antinutritional factors specific to this species warrants particular attention in formulation, especially for young animals.
