PROJECT TITLE: Improving the availability of UK sourced protein feed through new faba bean varieties, production and utilisation systemsSummary: The shortfall in sustainable protein produced in the UK and the EU creates an opportunity to evaluate and improve an established crop with previously untapped potential. The high protein content and acceptability of faba beans by some, but not all, of the feed industry offers the opportunity of market expansion for home produced legumes through advanced feeding trials. Faba beans are self sufficient in nitrogen and leave residual N for following crops, so contributing to environmental sustainability. However, the yield potential, and thus protein yield, of faba beans is seldom maximised. This project will establish the effects of advanced agronomy on faba bean output, and address the issue of yield stability by genetic selection and improved breeding processes to generate new varieties of faba bean optimised for feed markets

项目名称：通过新的蚕豆品种、生产和利用系统提高英国来源的蛋白质饲料的可用性摘要：英国和欧盟生产的可持续蛋白质的短缺为评估和改进具有以前未开发潜力的成熟作物创造了机会。蚕豆的高蛋白质含量和饲料工业的一些但不是全部的可接受性为通过先进的饲养试验扩大国产豆类的市场提供了机会。蚕豆的氮是自给自足的，并为随后的作物留下残留的氮，因此有助于环境的可持续性。然而，蚕豆的产量潜力和蛋白质产量很少被最大化。该项目将确定先进农艺学对蚕豆产量的影响，并通过遗传选择和改良育种过程来解决产量稳定性问题，以产生最适合饲料市场的蚕豆新品种。
