This publication contains comprehensive summaries of research trials conducted with peas for poultry, swine, ruminants and aquaculture. It is the second edition, the first being completed in 1998. The summaries are accompanied by an extensive database, listing pulse and canola research for all species of livestock. Both the database and summaries are an effort to enhance the knowledge of livestock producers, animal scientists, nutritionists and all interested parties on the use of peas as a feed ingredient.
Due to the volume of literature cited here (>3000 technical papers), a complete reference list was not included. Rather, references are available on the Internet at the Pulse-Canola Feed Literature Database (www.infoharvest.ca/pcd). Within the database each reference can be located, complete with title, full author listings, source and in most cases an abstract. Reprints of articles can be ordered.
Funding for this project was provided by the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers.
