\n\u2022 Peas have a high NE value
\n\u2022 Pea proteins
\n– Have the highest lysine content of any plant ingredient used in swine nutrition
\n– Are deficient In S-containing amino acids and in\u00a0Tryptophan
\n\u2022 Peas can represent up to
\n– 30% of the diet of growing pigs
\n– 40% of the diet of finishing pigs<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sows can be fed with peas as long as other\u00a0fibre sources are used in the diet
\n\u2022 Grinding markedly improves the nutritional\u00a0value of peas in pigs
\n\u2022 Other treatments can also improve the\u00a0nutritional value but at a lower rate<\/p>\n
3rd message
\n\u2022 Lentils have an energy value at least 5% lower\u00a0than that of peas
\n\u2022 The proteins are lower in essential amino acids\u00a0than peas and have a lower digestibility
\n\u2022 Freezing before harvest decreases protein\u00a0digestibility<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 The intake of flaxseed Increases the level of\u00a0polyinsaturated fat In the pig carcasses
\n\u2022 The proteins of flaxseed are deficient in lysine\u00a0but high in tryptophan
\n\u2022\u00a0Flaxseed and flaxseed meal can represent up to\u00a010% of the diet of growing pigs<\/p>\n
