With an annual production ranging from 3 to 3.7 million tonnes, field peas constitute a major source of income for farmers in Western Canada. They also constitute an excellent feed ingredient for swine. However, they still have the reputation of an ingredient with bad taste that negatively affects feed intake. A recent survey among Canadian feed producers has shown that palatability is the main reason why they limit peas in rations for swine. There is thus potential for using considerably more Canadian peas in animal nutrition but it is necessary to clarify if pea taste is a problem or not since, despite the feed producer's concerns, it has never been demonstrated.

豌豆年产量在300万至370万吨之间，是加拿大西部农民的主要收入来源。它们也是猪的优良饲料成分。然而，它们仍然被认为是一种味道不好的成分，会对饲料摄入量产生负面影响。最近对加拿大饲料生产商的一项调查表明，适口性是他们限制猪口粮中豌豆的主要原因。因此，有可能在动物营养中使用更多的加拿大豌豆，但有必要澄清豌豆味道是否是一个问题，因为尽管饲料生产商的关注，它从来没有被证明。
