The effect of desiccation of faba bean plants at different stages of maturity on the crude protein, methionine, and tannin content of faba bean was small. Early desiccation of faba bean (at 40-50% pods turning dark) reduced the feed intake and body weight gain of mice. Heating of this meal and/or supplementation of diet with methionine increased the feed intake and body weight gain
