CHICKPEAS
Chickpeas are a nutritious legume valuable for both human food and animal feed.
They are a rich source of protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber.
In animal feeding, chickpeas are often cracked or ground to become a valuable feed component for poultry, waterfowl, and livestock.
Their high protein content makes them an important supplement, particularly in layer and broiler rations.
To improve their digestibility by animals, chickpeas are typically recommended to be processed with methods such as heat treatment (roasting or boiling).
Furthermore, the use of chickpeas in animal feeds can provide an alternative to traditional protein sources like soybeans.
