BACKGROUND: Castor (Ricinus communis) seed cake (CSC), a byproduct of the vegetable-oil industry, contains fairly good amounts of protein (crude protein, 290-390 g kg⁻¹) which could be a suitable substitute of conventional oil cakes like soybean meal (SBM) in livestock diets but for the presence of a toxic glycoprotein, ricin. Efforts were, therefore, made to determine the feasibility of feeding C ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: We recently determined that 150 g kg⁻¹ of lucerne meal can be fed during the finishing period without detrimental effects on pig performance but lucerne should be limited to less than 75 g kg⁻¹ during the growing period. Lucerne has a high fiber content, is poorly digested and contains antinutritional factors such as saponins which reduce palatability. Therefore, pig performance could ...
