Lathyrus cicera as quality feed for laying hens
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Research at CLIMA has indicated that Lathyrus cicera and L. sativus (grasspea) have potential as grain legumes on 100 000 to 300 000 ha of neutral to alkaline soils in low-to-medium rainfall areas of southern Australia. They do not have serious disease problems and are envisaged as low maintenance/low cost crops for the purposes of green manure, managing herbicide resistant weeds, forage, hay and grain principally for animal feed. Particularly L. sativus is a human food in large parts of the Indian sub-continent and Ethiopia.

A review of the potential of Lathyrus sativus L. and L. cicera L. grain for use as animal feed
The use of the two closely related species, Lathyrus cicera and L. sativus, as grain legumes for human and animal consumption, dates to the Neolithic period. Due to its tolerance to harsh environmental conditions L. sativus is still used widely for human food in Ethiopia and the Indian sub-continent. Cultivation has decreased in many other regions. The grain of both L. cicera and L. sativus con...
