Abstract
In two experiments, lentils ( Vicia ervilia) and faba ( Vicia faba) beans were substituted (50% or 100%) for soybean cake in diets for weaned lambs. Although lentil diets had higher digestibilities than soybean cake diets, growth rate, feed intake and conversion efficiency decreased significantly as the proportion of lentils increased. Substituting faba beans for soybean cake had no effect on digestibility or performance of lambs.
