Fodder Use of White Lupin

Lupinus albus L.

White lupin is valued as a high-protein forage crop with a crude protein content of 35–50% and 8–12% oil. A key feature is the absence of trypsin inhibitors, which allows the grain to be fed without heat treatment.

In the reference 50 varieties crop White lupin, where this is mentioned in the description.

The grain of this crop is characterized by an 8–12% oil content dominated by oleic fatty acid, which accounts for approximately 55% of the composition. Modern varieties feature low alkaloid levels, often below 0.02%, making them safe for inclusion in livestock and poultry diets. The metabolizable energy of white lupin reaches 15.0 MJ/kg DM, exceeding that of narrow-leaf and yellow lupin species.

Compared to soybean, white lupin is better adapted to challenging climatic conditions and provides a high yield of protein per hectare. In broiler diets, its share can reach up to 25% without loss of productivity. The main limitations in its use are related to the high content of non-starch polysaccharides, which requires careful formulation in poultry farming, and the necessity of selecting anthracnose-resistant varieties.
