Legume Hulls - Feed Ingredient

Legume hulls are the outer seed coverings of legumes such as soybeans, peas, or lentils, obtained as a byproduct during processing for oil extraction or food production. These hulls are fibrous in nature and vary in nutrient content depending on the legume source.

Legume hulls are generally safe for horses and are valued for their low non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) content, making them suitable for horses requiring controlled starch and sugar intake. However, nutritional analysis should be considered, as variability exists among different hull sources.
