Practice Abstract 31 - Slaughter pigs fed with faba beans

Short title (in English): 
Slaughter pigs fed with faba beans

Short summary for practitioners (in English): 
Price variation and - increase of imported soy has led to a growing interest in a locally produced, alternative protein sources for pigs. High yields and reduced tannin content in new faba bean varieties have made them more likely as an alternative than previously assumed. SEGES has therefore tested how to substitute imported soy protein with locally produced faba bean in diets for 30 – 110 kg weighing slaughter pigs. With a slightly lower feed conversion and a 4 % decrease in production value, 21 % faba beans could be included in the feed mixture, according to the tests. Based on these results, the current recommendations are now that up to 20 % faba beans can be included in the feed mixture and even though variety “Fuego” were used in the above-mentioned test, both medium and low tannin containing faba beans can be used.

Short title (native language): 
Slagtesvin fodret med hestebønner

Short summary for practitioners (native language): 
Prisvariationer og -stigninger af importeret soja har ført til den øget interesse for lokalt producerede, alternative proteinafgrøder for svin. Høje udbytter og reducerede tanninindhold i nye hestebønnesorter har gjort dem egnede som alternativ, end tidligere antaget. SEGES har derfor gennemført nogle test af hvor stor en andel lokalt producerede hestebønner der kan erstatte importeret sojaprotein i foderblandinger til 30 – 110 kg slagtesvin. Med en smule lavere foderudnyttelse og 4 % reduktion i produktionsværdien kunne 21 % hestebønner indgå i foderblandingen i testen. På baggrund af disse resultater er de nuværende anbefalinger at op til 20 % hestebønner kan indgå i foderblandingen og selvom om der i den nævnte test blev brugt hestebønner af sorten ”Fuego”, kan både medium og lav tanninholdige hestebønner bruges.
