The hydrothermally processed pea is a true powerhouse for long-term available energy and offers significantly improved energy and raw protein digestibility compared to conventional peas.
Peas are suppliers of biologically valuable protein. Compared to other protein carriers, peas offer not only protein but also a particularly high amount of starch. Thus, they provide high-quality amino acids and good, quickly available energy. Peas have a low glycemic index; this means that blood sugar levels rise slowly and remain constant. The energy is available to the pigeon in the long term.
The digestibility of peas is significantly improved through hydrothermal processing! The availability of essential nutrients is significantly increased, providing animals with more valuable protein and more energy. This is also proven by the scientific study of the University of Applied Sciences Bingen.
THE FACTS:
• Through the hydrothermal treatment of peas and the associated deactivation of anti-nutritional substances, the digestibility of raw protein increases by 6.1 percentage points!
• Through the hydrothermal treatment of peas, there is a "breakdown" of starch and thus an improvement in energy digestibility by 3.5 percentage points.
Last year, we used this hydrothermally processed pea to make it even more effective by adding beetroot and turmeric, which you can recognize by the red or yellow coloring of the peas. Beetroot and turmeric are known from Ayurvedic healing arts. Beetroot is known for its ability to support performance in the long term and promote regeneration. Turmeric, in addition to its antioxidant effect, has the advantage of being anti-inflammatory and supporting bone health.
