Abstract

A comparison was made of three diets given to pigs after weaning at 28 days of age: control, control + 300 g spring peas per kg or control + 300 g spring peas + 1·2 g DL-methionine per kg. The latter diet led to similar food conversion ratio and better growth rate than the control diet. It seems therefore that provided diets are properly balanced for all limiting amino acids, spring pea (Pisum sativum subsp. hortense) can be used at least up to 300 g/kg in weaned pig diets.
