Popis: In the rumen, unnecessary N-losses occur because the availability of energy and N in the rumen is usually unbalanced. Because N is more rapidly available than energy, decreasing the protein degradability optimizes fermentation and decreases N-losses. Heat treatment can be used to decrease protein degradability. Therefore, heat treatment of legume seeds, such as lupins, peas and faba beans, may result in a more efficient use of these seeds in ruminant diets. When whole seeds are treated by heat, the presence of the covering hull may affect the result. Not only the protein degradability, but also the degradability of starch present in peas and faba beans, may be altered due to the heat treatment.
