Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Dehulling significantly improved seed OM and NDF digestibility.
- Intervention effect Flaking significantly improved seed OM and NDF digestibility.
- Intervention effect Dehulled fababean had higher OM digestibility than other treated seeds, at 99.27%.
- Intervention effect Dehulled fababean had higher NDF digestibility than other treated seeds, at 90.33%.
- Intervention effect Germination reduced fababean OM and NDF digestibility.
- Intervention effect Cooking significantly reduced tannin content by over 55% relative to untreated seeds.
- Intervention effect Germination did not affect seed tannin content.
- Recommendation The authors recommend evaluating thermal tannin reduction by cost and benefit because seed tannin is low.
