  • Title: Nutritional evaluation of extruded faba bean (Vicia faba L.) as a protein supplement in cereals based diet in rats.
    Author: Kushwah A, Rajawat P, Kushwah HS.
    Journal: Indian J Exp Biol; 2002 Jan; 40(1):49-52. PubMed ID: 12561968.
    Abstract:
    The quality of extruded faba bean (EFB) (Vicia faba L.) as a protein supplement in cereals diet was evaluated. Growth rate and protein efficiency ratio was better in 20% EFB blended dietary group of rats than those fed either on cereals alone or at 40% EFB supplementation. Subsequent studies on digestibility co-efficient, biological value, net protein utilization and net protein ratio also confirmed biological utilization of EFB proteins in a better way at low level (20%).
