Abstract
Lupin kernel meal (LKM) results from the mechanical removal and separation of the testa of sweet lupin seed (Lupinus angustzfolius). This process increases the crude protein content from 300 g/kg in lupin seed to 380 g/kg in LKM, crude fibre is reduced from 159 to 37 g/kg and the digestible energy experiments (DE) concentration is increased from 14.4 MJ/kg to 16.4 MJ/kg. Two were conducted with growing pigs to compare LKM with soyabean meal (SBM) as main ingredients of diets based on wheat and barley.
