Résumé anglais
Under the conditions of organic agriculture, a feeding trial was conducted in order to test raw and toasted grass pea seeds as protein-rich feed for weaned piglets. Toasted grass pea seeds at inclusion rates of 2030% (as fed basis) in diets were found to be a palatable protein-rich feed, resulting in feed intake and body weight gain similar to the control diet. Including 20% raw grass pea seeds, however, led to significantly lower body weight gain and consequently a significantly higher feed conversion ratio. Therefore, if 20% or more raw grass pea seeds are included in diets for weaned piglets, toasting of grass pea seeds prior to feeding is recommended in order to avoid performance deficits.
