Description
What it is. Pea refers to the seeds of Pisum spp., a legume grown for animal feed. It is a raw material, without specific processing other than harvesting and possible cleaning.
What it is for. Pea is generally used as a source of protein and energy in feed formulas for pigs, poultry, ruminants and fish. It is generally used as a partial replacement for other protein sources or cereals in the ration, depending on the chosen formulation. Its use is generally suited to different physiological stages, depending on the nutritional objectives of the formulator.
Points to watch. The composition of pea can vary depending on variety, geographic origin and growing conditions, which justifies quality control upon receipt. As with other legumes, the presence of antinutritional factors should be taken into account during formulation. Storage in dry conditions, protected from humidity, is recommended to preserve batch quality.
