Effect of Replacing a Soy Diet withVicia FabaandPisum Sativumon Performance, Meat and Fat Traits ofCinta SenesePigs

“…Recently, the use of GM soybeans was forbidden by several laws regulating pig-rearing conditions, such as organic production [Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007;European Commission, 2007]. Thus, farmers tried to increase the local production of GMO-free plant proteins (Calabrò et al, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, it is known that the use of Pisum sativum and Vicia faba bean in pigs is limited due to their partial deficiency in indispensable AA, such as methionine (Met) and tryptophan (Try) (Smith et al, 2013). Many studies have been performed on the replacement of soybeans with other protein sources in various animal species (Barros et al, 2002;Soren and Sastry, 2009;Chikagwa-Malunga et al, 2009;Mordenti et al, 2012;Calabrò et al, 2014). With regard to swine, previous studies (Prandini et al, 2011;Smith et al, 2013) have demonstrated that specific percentages of Pisum sativum or Vicia faba may be included in diets without negative effects on pig performance, carcass composition and meat quality.…”

Meat consumption and breast cancer: A case–control study in women

“…The main saturated fatty acids (SFAs) present in red meat are palmitic acid and stearic acid, while meat from ruminant animals is also a source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (Biesalski, 2005;Williamson et al, 2005). Meat fatty acid composition can be changed via the diet (e.g., the feeding regime of the animal), affecting meat quality and producing different flavors in cooked meat due to the different oxidative changes occurring during storage and cooking (Calabro et al, 2014;Cutrignelli et al, 2008;Wood & Enser, 1997). Finally, L-Carnitine which plays an important role in fatty acid metabolism is also provided by meat, having the opportunity not to be modified during domestic cooking (Rigault, Mazue, Bernard, Demarquoy, & Le Borgne, 2008).…”

Effects of replacing soybean meal with dried rumen digesta on feed intake, digestibility of nutrients, rumen fermentation and nitrogen use efficiency in Thai cattle fed on rice straw

“…The increasing price of SBM, alternative protein sources are required to replace SBM in animal diets for sustainable animal production (Südekuma et al, 2004;Tudisco et al, 2010;Rufino et al, 2013;Calabrò et al, 2014).…”
