Performance Results and Concentrations of Biochemical Indices and Mineral Elements in Blood Serum of Fatteners Fed Diets Containing Mixtures of Raw Seeds of Pea (Pisum sativum L.) or Blue Lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.)

摘要

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using pea and blue lupine seeds as replacers for genetically modified soybean meal (SBM-GM), traditionally used in pig feeding, on their production results, health and body homeostasis. The public is often opposed to the use of feed with GM materials in animal nutrition, which is why the search for alternative sources of feed protein that can be used in commercial production is underway. Despite the differences in the level of biochemical indices and mineral elements concentration in blood serum in pigs fed diets containing pea or blue lupine seeds, the study did not show their negative impact on the production parameters and body homeostasis. The results obtained indicate that legumes seeds—pea and blue lupin—can offer an alternative to SBM-GM. It has been shown that pea or blue lupine seeds in the diet of fattening pigs allows to achieve similar production results and do not adversely affect the homeostasis of the animal body.
