Davies, R.L. (South Australian Dept. of Agriculture, Adelaide. Animal Industry Div.)
The inclusion of up to 28 percent peas in growing and finishing diets did not affect the digestible energy intake of pigs fed at up to 3.5 times their maintenance energy requirement. When peas comprised 53 percent of a diet fed to growing pigs, intake was depressed by 8 percent. With the exception of this diet, responses were consistent with changes in dietary lysine. It is concluded that, at up to about 40 percent of the diet, the lysine and energy value of field peas to growing and finishing pigs is consistent with analysed levels of these nutrients.
