Field beans are an interesting alternative for imported soy in dairy production, but only if the beans are first heated. Those are the results from the ILVO-study within the EKOPTI project. Heating is...
To what extent are field beans a valuable and viable protein provider and soy substitute in dairy cattle rations?
...for autumn grass was unsuccessful but emphasized the significance of the autumn grass cut. Toasting field beans enhanced protein and starch rumen non-degradability, making them a promising alternat...
...ensure a sustainable market. The results can serve as a model for other local protein crops such as field beans, lupins and peas. The choice of soybean meal as the basic raw material and the positi...
...ivation was explored with a number of pioneering farmers. Mixed crops were chosen with yellow peas, field beans or lupin, combined with oats. These are crops that thrive here and are efficient with...
... The CurtoALERT project, coordinated by ILVO, was initiated following the isolation of Cff from field beans in a variety trial conducted on ILVO premises in 2021. CurtoALERT aims to shed light on t...
...ors of (soybean) toasters. Together with the constructors, we study which are the best settings for field beans and/or mixed crops. We evaluate the toasting process by determining the effect on pro...

...r>The approach in this project is obviously multidisciplinary: In Flemish trial plots, we cultivate field beans as a primary raw material. We focus on the cultivation and characterisation of field ...
...as also analyzed.Relevance/ValorizationThe field experiments showed that the mixed crops of field beans with triticale and field beans with wheat produced the highest yields. Higher sowing ...
ILVO investigates the potential of new forage crops, such as field beans, and other local protein sources, such as algae and insects, for Flemish farms. This includes yield, crop rotation, and profita...
