Pulses are leguminous crops harvested for dry protein-rich seed, with peas (pisum sativum) and beans (vicia faba) being the major crops in the UK.
Animal nutrition plays a crucial role in livestock agriculture for several reasons, as it directly impacts the health, productivity, and overall wellbeing of farm animals.
Field beans (vicia faba) are a widely grown break crop across the UK on around 170,000 ha.
Peas (pisum sativum) are grown either for combining dry seed (combining peas) or harvesting fresh as a vegetable or for freezing (vining peas).
Chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and ducks are the main categories of poultry kept for eggs, meat and breeding.
