Dry matter — white lupin

Lupinus albus L.

Methodological standard for assessing the biochemical composition and nutritional value of white lupin. It serves as a baseline value that excludes the influence of moisture when calculating protein, fat, and energy content in grain and vegetative mass.

In the reference 13 varieties crop White lupin, where this is mentioned in the description.

When analyzing white lupin, the content of key nutrients, such as crude protein, which varies between 36–40% and can reach 45%, is always recorded based on absolute dry matter. This is necessary to ensure data comparability between different samples and varieties, eliminating errors introduced by the natural moisture content of the plant material.

Technologically, the dry matter indicator determines the requirements for post-harvest seed processing, as an insufficient dry matter level leads to mold development and self-heating. When formulating animal rations, recalculation based on dry matter is a prerequisite for accurately balancing nutrients and preventing feeding errors.
