The effects of dietary inclusion of faba bean hulls (Vicia faba L.) with a low (.1% catechin equivalents; LT) or high tannin content on the obvious ileal and faeces digestibility of nutrients were studied in three experiments (Exp. 1, 2, and 3) with young pigs (BW 10 to 26 kg).

Additionally, using the 15N isotope dilution method, the actual digestibility of the meals' protein and the excretion of endogenous protein (N x 6.25) in the ileal digesta and feces of pigs were assessed.
Diets either contained casein and faba bean cotyledons as highly soluble (HS) protein sources (Exp. 1 to 3) or protein sources with a low solubility (LS), such as potato protein, soy concentrate, sunflower meal, animal meal, and fish meal.
It has been determined that faba bean condensed tannins interact with dietary and endogenous proteins in pigs' digestive systems.
As a result, less food protein is really digestible and more endogenously secreted proteins are excreted. Faba bean tannins interact with proteins more frequently than other molecules.
