Abstract

The objectives of this work were to study the relative nutritive value of horsebeans in diets for growing chicks: to study the horsebean seeds as a source of vegetable protein; to determine the supplements needed to make it a desirable feedstuff for growing chicks, and to determine the maximum amount of the horsebean seed that might be included in a satisfactory chick diet.
