Lentils - Feed Ingredient

Lentils are the edible seeds of Lens culinaris, a legume crop widely cultivated for its high protein and fiber content. They are typically used in split or whole form and can be red, green, brown, or black in color.

In equine nutrition, lentils are not a common ingredient but may be included in specialized feed formulations as a plant-based protein source. They provide essential amino acids, complex carbohydrates, and micronutrients such as iron, folate, and magnesium.
