“…Hence the good balance in the TSFA/ TUFA and x-6/x-3 fatty acids ratios of the Vicia species studied may help us correct this current balance in the western diet. It has been observed that the processing and cooking of legumes do not affect the fatty acid composition, while antinutritional compounds present in legumes are removed or degraded [27][28][29], thus making cooked legumes a possible source of important fatty acids.…”

The fatty acid distribution in the seed flour from 31 Vicia taxa distributed throughout southern Spain was analyzed by gas chromatography. Fatty acids ranged from myristic acid to araquidic acid. Linoleic acid (from 28.7 to 66.3% of the fatty acids), oleic acid (from 7.2 to 32.5% of the fatty acids) and linolenic acid (from 2.7 to 16.6% of the fatty acids) were the most abundant among unsaturated ones and palmitic acid among saturated ones. The total unsaturated to saturated fatty acids ratio ranged between 2.6 in V. hirsuta and 4.2 in V. hybrida. Polyunsaturated to monounsaturated fatty acids ratio ranged between 1.3 in V. ervilia and 9.0 in V. pyrenaica. The x-6 to x-3 ratio ranged between 1.7 in V. articulata and 17.3 in V. faba. The fatty acids distribution observed in the Vicia species studied supports the use of these plants as a source of important dietary lipids.

“…The utilization of grass pea seeds as a feed crop has been limited partly due to their content of antinutritional substances, mainly proteases inhibitors (Roy et al, 1975;Weder, 1981;Rotter et al, 1991). In order to eliminate these substances the grass pea seeds can be toasted, autoclaved, boiled in water or extruded (Liener, 1983;Rotter, 1990).…”

The studies were carried on 24 pigs divided into 4 groups: control and 3 experimental. The pigs were fed for 8 weeks the diets: basic diet (control group) and supplemented with 10% raw grass pea seeds (group II) or with 10%) raw grass peas seeds plus methionine (group III) and supplemented with 20% extruded grass pea seeds and methionine (group IV).The protein content in the pancreas did not differ significanty between mean valeus for control and experimental groups. In the control group the protein content in pancreas amounted 755.00 ± 52.7 mg/ml, while in the three experimental groups 691.27 ± 25.55, 715.83 ± 54.84 and 763.33 ± 50.62 mg/ml, respectively. Proteolytic activity of the pancreatic homogenates was significantly lower in both experimental groups (II and III) of pigs fed on diets with 10% raw grass pea seeds. There were no significant differences between the pigs from group IV and control.Tryspin activity of pancreatic homogenates from pigs of the groups II and III was significantly lower than in control pigs and pigs from group IV.

“…Protein digestibility of Lathyrus-containing diets was lower than in the control diet and some birds given the diet with higher level of Lathyrus showed ruffl ed feathers, stunted growth and abnormal gait in comparison with the chickens fed the control diet. Low et al (1990) and Rotter et al (1991) using Lathyrus seeds of low or medium ODAP content grown in Canada at a level 800 g/kg or 200, 400, 600 and 800 g/kg diet reported depressed performance and dry matter digestibility only at the higher levels of inclusion, but none of the classical symptoms of lathyrism or increased mortality.…”

“…Latif et al (1976) reported that the AME value of L. sativus for poultry was 11.3 MJ/kg DM, while Chowdhury et al (2005) estimated it at 12 MJ/kg. Low et al (1990) did not fi nd any symptoms of lathyrism in chickens fed a diet with 82% of L. sativus, while Rotter et al (1991) reported that performance of broiler chickens decreased with increased L. sativus levels in the diet.…”

Evaluation of selected mutants of grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) var. Krab as an ingredient in broiler chicken diet

The aim of the study was to evaluate the nutritional value of Lathyrus sativus var. Krab in broiler chickens as well as that of 3 mutants (K-12, K-63 and K-64) developed from var. Krab by mutagenic treatment and selection towards improved agronomic traits. The proximal composition of mutants was similar to that of var. Krab with the exception of a higher protein content in K-12, and lower β-N-oxalyl-L-α,β-diaminopropionic acid (ODAP) and tannin contents in the mutants. Trypsin inhibitor activity ranged from 57 to 68 mg/g crude protein (CP) in mutants, and equaled 72 mg/g CP in Krab variety seeds.Four test diets composed using the basal diet and evaluated grasspea seeds at a proportion of 6:4 were used in the balance experiment; the control diet without grasspea, and 4 isonitrogenous diets containing 10% grasspea were used in the growth experiment. Apparent total tract protein digestibility and metabolizable energy in mutant K-12 equaled 72% and 9.8 MJ ME/kg DM, respectively, and were similar as in var. Krab but higher than in mutants K-63 and K-64 (P<0.05). In chickens fed from day 8 to 40 of age diets containing 10% grasspea, performance, tibia ash content, and tibia ultimate strength did not differ from the control group. However, birds fed the diet with var. Krab seeds had enlarged pancreases (P<0.05) and livers in comparison with controls; the weight of these organs was lower (P<0.05) in groups fed mutant seeds. Bone and joint deformations indicative of neurolathyrism were found in four birds from the group fed var. Krab, while they were not seen in birds fed the diets with seeds from mutants. 3 Corresponding author: e-mail: s.smulikowska@ifzz.pan.pl Journal of Animal and Feed Sciences, 17, 2008, 75-87 GRASSPEA MUTANTS FOR BROILER CHICKENSThe results indicate that mutagenic treatment of Lathyrus sativus can have a positive effect on the nutritional quality of seeds.
