Brassica seeds and other oil seeds are high in protein and oil and are potentially good protein and energy supplements for ruminants. However, antinutrients present in these seeds, including glucosinolates, tannins, gossypol and others, limit their use especially in the diets of monogastric animals. Ruminants appear to be less susceptible because of rumen microbial action which may degrade some of the antinutrients. It is well known that high fat intakes by ruminants adversely affect microbial function and in a feeding experiment in which rape seed oil was incorporated in the diet of bulls, a depression in rumen fermentation and a reduction in apparent cell wall digestibility was found (Tesfa, 1993). Similarly, tropical legume seeds such as Lablab seed (Lablab purpureus), Narbon seed (Vicia narbonensis), Mungbean seed (Vigna spp.) and Cowpea seed (Vigna unguiculata) have high crude protein and low fiber contents and are likely to be valuable as concentrate feedstuffs. However, a number of antinutrients known to be present in legume seeds such as lectins, protease inhibitors, cyanogenic glycosides and amino acids such as canavanine and mimosine are considered to inhibit the growth of animals fed these seeds.In vitrodegradability trials of oil seeds and legume seeds have not been carried out and there is inadequate information on the nutritive value of these seeds for ruminants. The studies reported were designed to investigatein vitromicrobial degradation of dry matter of ground seeds and their influence on gas production under CBC.

There are three by-products obtained from the preparation of legume seeds for human consumption which are marketed as supplemental animal foods, namely, the seed-coats (testa) which are removed from beans, peas and lentils. They are known commercially by various names, “skins,” “shells,” “husks,” “hulls” and as “offals.” They are used extensively in the East for the nutrition of cattle, where dehusked legumes enter so largely into the dietary of humans. Bean, pea and lentil husks are all used for stock feeding in Britain, and it was the frequency with which pea husks were found in commercial sheep-feeding mixtures sent for examination, and the knowledge that considerable consignments of bean shells are from time to time imported, that led to this enquiry into their nutritive value. Previous to the adoption of the Foodstuffs and Fertilisers Act, 1926, bean husks were imported into Britain in larger quantities than is at present the case, some of them being ground and added to bean meal, a practice which one has reason to believe has now ceased. Bean husks are seldom fed as such to cattle in Britain, but in France they are given to dairy cows and horses. For cows they are mixed with beet pulp, oil cakes and bran with, it is stated, good results. For horses they are mixed with oats, and an informant, a farmer from Cambrai, mixes them in equal proportions with oats for his working horses, giving to each 30 litres per day. It is claimed that the addition of the husks causes a more complete mastication of the oats and that horses do well on the mixture.

SUMMARYThe susceptibility of whole and rolled cereal and legume seeds to microbial attack within the rumen of cows was examined by incubating seeds in nylon bags in the rumen for 24,48 and 72 hr. With whole, intact seeds the husked cereal grains were less susceptible than naked grains and legume seeds. Inter-varietal differences were observed with maize, oats and barley. Breaking the cereal grains before incubation considerably increased the losses of dry matter. Digestibility trials with non-lactating cows confirmed that barley, sorghum, wheat and oats were poorly digested when given whole, and considerable variation was recorded between individual cows in their ability to digest whole grains. Rolling the grains before feeding made the greatest improvement in digestibility with sorghum, wheat and barley and the least with oats.

The Δ9-12,13-epoxy-trichothecenes are a group of 37 naturally occurring sesquiterpenoids produced by species of Fusarium, Stachybotrys, Myrothecium, Trichoderma, and Cephalosporium. They are responsible for a variety of mycotoxicoses in man and animals that may be manifested by severe dermatitis, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, decreased weight gains, extensive hemorrhaging, and death. Outbreaks, which have occurred in Russia, Europe, the United States, Japan, and Korea, usually result after cereal grains in the field have been exposed to prolonged cool and wet weather. Hence, these mycotoxicoses do not appear to be a problem of faulty grain storage, since they involve field fungi primarily rather than storage molds.
