Sweet Lupins - Feed Ingredient

Sweet Lupins refer to low-alkaloid varieties of lupin plants, bred specifically for feed and food use. These varieties contain significantly reduced levels of bitter and potentially toxic alkaloids compared to wild lupin species, making them safer and more palatable for livestock, including horses.

In equine nutrition, sweet lupins are valued for their high protein content and are used as a plant-based protein source in feed formulations. They also provide moderate levels of digestible energy and fiber. The seeds may be included whole, cracked, or ground, and are often heat-treated to improve digestibility and reduce residual antinutritional factors.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Sweet Lupins as an ingredient.
