Abstract
- The article offers information on the benefits of high-protein lupins as organic alternative feeds to soya in beef cattle. According to farmer Rob Priest, apart from improved cattle performance, lupin has much higher fibre content than grass silage, allowing microbes in the rumen to efficiently digest the feed. More than its nutritional quality, the crop appeals to farmers in Great Britain who struggle growing other crops.
