Abstract

Lupine seed is an important source of proteins and has a high energy value. In contrast to soyabean, the lupine seeds contain less proteins, lysine, methionine, cysteine and threonine, more fibre, starch and fat. The composition of nutrients is similar as in soya extruded meal. The seeds must be mechanically processed but not heat treated. Lupine seed is an alternative of soya in feeding ration of farm animals. In cattle diet, whole plants can be further utilized in form of green stuff or silage.
