“…Alternatives to soybean products as poultry feed ingredients are regionally grown protein crops, such as beans and peas. These would contribute to a greater independency of local agricultural industries, as they would no longer have to rely on soy imports and their volatile prices, and provide environmental benefits like biological nitrogen fixation, in addition to having the potential to increase poultry production efficiencies [15].…”

The current practices of the poultry industry have raised concerns among consumers. Among these is the culling of day-old male chicks of laying hybrids; a suitable alternative for this could be the use of dual-purpose breeds where both sexes are used. Another practice that causes concern is the import of large quantities of soybeans for feedstuff production. Substitutes for these soybean-based products are regional protein crops, such as faba beans (Vicia faba L.; FBs). The objective of this study was to test the suitability of FB as a locally produced soybean meal replacement for two local dual-purpose chicken breeds and one high-performing layer line. The breast and leg meat of male Bresse Gauloise (BG), Vorwerkhuhn (VH), and White Rock (WR) animals was evaluated for different meat quality parameters: pH, color, water holding capacity, and tenderness. Sensory properties of the samples were evaluated by a trained panel with a conventional descriptive analysis. Results show different effects of FB diets on meat quality parameters in the different breeds. The attributes mostly affected by the diet are related to aroma, flavor, and texture, particularly in VH and WR. Overall, faba beans appear to be an acceptable dietary protein source for rearing these breeds for meat production.

“…Field peas ( Pisum sativum ) are leguminous pulses that have been around for centuries and have mostly been consumed by humans. Field peas have a high nutritional quality that fall somewhere between corn and SBM and have the potential to substitute both of them in pigs and broiler chicken diets [ 34 , 74 , 75 ]. Field peas are high in lysine, but relatively low in methionine, tryptophan, and cysteine, and would require external supplementation of AA for use in monogastric animal diets [ 76 ].…”

Diets play an important part in monogastric nutrition. This is because diets are comprised of various feed ingredients that supply energy and nutrients required by broiler chickens or pigs for normal growth and development. The main feed ingredients used for formulating diets for pigs and chickens are comprised of cereals and oilseed meals. Corn and soybean meal (SBM) are mostly used in North America for animal feeds. However, due to geographical locations, availability, and cost, ingredients such as wheat, barley, and canola meal are often used for feeding pigs and chickens. Overdependence on common ingredients such as corn and SBM for decades has resulted in rising costs of animal production. Therefore, the need has risen to examine the potentials of alternative feed ingredients capable of supplying the required energy and nutrients for monogastric animals. Research has been carried out to identify and evaluate several uncommon feed ingredients and their utilization by broiler chickens and pigs. Thus, this review enumerates the nutritional potentials of feed ingredients in 4 main nutritional classes using information from articles in peer-reviewed journals. Feeding practices, advantages, and limitations of using certain uncommon feed ingredients are discussed. In addition, species-specific factors in terms of practical applications are explored.

“…The problem with soybeans is that the European Union's (EU) yield is not enough to cover the needs of its own poultry industry and there is a need to import soybean products from other countries [21,22]. These large imports cause problems in EU agriculture, mainly instability due to price volatility of soybeans on the global market [23] and EU consumers' concerns with genetic modified soy crops and deforestation of the Americas [22,24].…”

“…An alternative to soybean products is other protein crops like beans and peas, which are traditional European crops and suit the natural production surroundings well. Local agricultural industries could benefit from these crops by having a greater independency in their production and they could also benefit from these crops' environmental benefits like nitrogen fixation [23]. Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) are one of the oldest and most widely cultivated legumes [25].…”

As ethical and environmental concerns regarding current poultry production systems arise, consumers look for alternatives. This study assesses consumers’ preferences for chicken meat of dual-purpose breeds (DPBs), regionally produced feedstuff, and specific breeds, along with attitudes and social norms that explain these preferences. We conducted an online survey (n = 934) including a discrete choice experiment and elements of the theory of planned behavior. Results show that after price, product and feedstuff origin are preferred by consumers, followed by breeding form and specific breed. Utilities for each attribute and level were calculated and consumer segments were created using latent class analysis. Three different consumer groups were identified: (1) price-sensitive consumers, (2) price-sensitive and origin-oriented consumers, and (3) origin-oriented consumers. We conclude that although consumers are interested in meat from DPBs, this attribute alone is not enough to influence the purchase decision, and geographical origin seems to be of crucial importance. However, by highlighting important attributes (i.e., animal welfare, regional/local production), DPB products could be introduced to the market. The consumption of these alternative products has economic implications, such as not relying on imports and promoting local production/consumption, along with social implications as refraining from killing day-old chicks.

Faba beans and peas in poultry feed: economic assessment

Abstract: The optimum kind of legume species used in the broiler diet was peas, which were added in the amount of 200 g kg , resulting in live weight gain, a decrease in the feed conversion ratio and an increase in the production efficiency factor. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
