“…Lambs that were fed peas had greater (P <0.05) ADFI than lambs fed faba beans. These results are consistent with the authors' previous studies (Lestingi et al, 2015b;Lestingi et al, 2016).…”

“…The effects of protein source and processing treatment on blood constituents are presented in Table 6. The concentrations of the plasma metabolites in all the experimental animals were within the typical ranges reported for sheep (Abdel-Ghani et al, 2011;Lestingi et al, 2015b;Lestingi et al, 2016). Lambs that were fed lupin seeds had a greater concentration of plasma glucose than lambs fed faba bean seeds (P <0.05).…”

“…Moreover, apart from the authors' previous studies (Lestingi et al, 2015b(Lestingi et al, , 2016Facciolongo et al, 2014), they are not aware of reports on the effect of the use of faba bean, white lupin, and pea seeds, raw or after an extrusion treatment, on lamb blood parameters, some of which are important indicators of the animal's nutritional state and may be useful in identifying metabolic imbalances or disorders. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of faba bean, white lupin and pea seed, and their processing treatment, raw or extruded, on growth, carcass characteristics and blood parameters of growing lambs.…”

“…However, some studies reported reduced animal performance with the use of lupin owing to the high rumen degradability of its protein, but the issue has been controversial (Kung et al,1991;Murphy & McNiven, 1994;Stanford et al, 1996;Vicenti et al, 2009). In the authors' earlier studies, the use of diets that incorporated faba bean, lupin and pea, alone and in mixtures, as alternative protein sources to soybean in feeding for finishing lambs did not negatively affect the in vivo performances or the carcass yield and quality (Lestingi et al, 2015a(Lestingi et al, , 2015b(Lestingi et al, , 2016Facciolongo et al, 2014Facciolongo et al, , 2015. However, the authors continued with this research topic to determine the optimum percentages of these protein sources to include in feeds.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of faba bean, white lupin and pea seed when fed as protein supplements on growth performance, carcass characteristics and haematological characteristics of growing lambs. Forty-eight Gentile di Puglia male lambs, weaned at 38 ± 2 days old with an average initial bodyweight of 12.8 ± 0.5 kg, were divided into six homogenous groups. The six dietary treatments were RFB (diet containing raw faba bean seeds); EFB (diet containing extruded faba bean seeds); RL (diet containing raw lupin seeds); EL (diet containing extruded lupin seeds); RP (diet containing raw pea seeds); and EP (diet containing extruded pea seeds). Feeding lupin seeds reduced average daily feed intake compared with the other protein sources. Carcass conformation, loin weight as a percentage of half-carcass weight, and fat weight as a percentage of loin weight improved in the lambs that consumed both EP and RP diets. Extrusion reduced hide weight as a percentage of empty bodyweight and fat weight as a percentage of leg weight. The protein source had a significant effect on glucose and total cholesterol concentrations, albumin, α 1-globulin, β-globulin, and γ-globulin percentages and albumin-globulin ratios. The processing treatment decreased total cholesterol concentrations. Thus, feeding the various legumes did not affect growth performance, but only carcass characteristics; changes which may be due to the differences in feed intake. Extrusion also had minor effects, and further work is required to investigate the use of these protein sources, both raw and extruded.

“…There are just a few studies that have examined the blood metabolic profile of lambs fed with rations where soybean meal has been replaced with peas (Lestingi et al, 2016). It is known that the metabolic profile of animals' blood is a good indicator of the nutritional status and welfare and can be used to detect metabolic imbalance or disorders, particularly those resulting from errors made in nutrition (Whitney et al, 2009;Antunović et al, 2010a).…”

Abstract. The aim of this research was to investigate the production traits, blood metabolic profile and fatty acids of meat and tallow in response to the partial replacement of soybean meal with peas in lambs' feed. The research was conducted on 30 Merinolandschaf lambs of 90 days' age over 30 days. Lambs were fed with feed mixture (1000 g day −1 lamb −1 ). In the control group protein supplement was soybean meal (SC), while in the experimental groups soybean meal was partially replaced with 13 % peas (P13) and 26 % peas (P26). In the haematological parameters of lambs' blood, concentrations of minerals (Ca, P, Mg and Fe) and biochemical parameters (urea, glucose, total protein, albumin, globulins, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, β-hydroxybutyrate and non-esterified fatty acids) as well as enzyme activity (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT and CK) were determined. After slaughter, carcass development was measured. Samples of m. semimembranosus and tallow were taken in which concentrations of fatty acids were analysed. Values of meat pH and colour were taken 45 min 24 h post mortem, and water-holding capacity was calculated. By analysing the production properties of lamb, we found that slaughtering characteristics of lamb carcasses, haematological and most of the biochemical indicators did not differ. Urea concentrations were reduced in the blood of lambs in P13 and P26. Concentration of C18:2 n-6 increased in tallow of lambs of group SC compared to group P26 of lambs. The above-mentioned results indicate the possibility of partial replacement of soybean meal with peas in lambs' diets in organic farming without changes in production.
