Pulse Screenings - Feed Ingredient

Pulse screenings are a byproduct of cleaning and processing pulse crops such as peas, lentils, chickpeas, and beans. These screenings typically include broken seeds, seed coats, undersized pulses, and other plant fragments removed during sorting for human consumption or seed use.

In equine nutrition, pulse screenings may be used as a fibrous, protein-containing feed ingredient. Their composition varies depending on the source pulses and cleaning process but often includes digestible fiber, moderate protein, and minimal starch. They may be included in feed formulations as an economical way to increase bulk and fiber content.

Nutritional value and palatability can vary.
