Fodder peas (Pisum sativum) are a high-nutrient legume seed used widely as animal feed. They provide a balanced blend of protein, energy and fiber, making them valuable for livestock and poultry diets. These peas are protein-rich and packed with vitamins and minerals, supporting healthy growth, metabolism and immunity in animals. As a natural feed ingredient, peas also offer an alternative to soybean meal in many feed formulations.
A typical analysis of unprocessed field peas shows around 22–24% crude protein and about 5–6% crude fiber on a dry-matter basis. Peas are also relatively high in starch (energy) and contain little fat. In addition to macro-nutrients, fodder peas provide measurable minerals – for example roughly 10–20 g/kg potassium, 1.5–2.0 g/kg magnesium, ~0.1 g/kg iron and tens of mg/kg zinc – and contain vitamins (especially B vitamins and vitamin C) that support growth and immune function. This nutrient density makes peas a valuable supplement in balanced feed rations.
Fodder peas can be fed as whole grains or coarsely ground, depending on the animal. Poultry and game birds often eat whole peas; ducks and chickens enjoy them as a treat. For finer diets (e.g. piglet or cattle feeds), peas may be milled or flaked. Many poultry keepers also soak or sprout peas before feeding – this germination (sprouting) increases digestibility and provides fresh greens. In practice, peas are mixed into feeds at rates appropriate for the species. For example, dairy and beef cattle rations often include a portion of peas (in place of soybean meal), while poultry feeds use peas as a 5–10% supplement to grains. (As with any feed, provide fresh water and balance peas with other feed ingredients – they should not exceed about 10% of a poultry flock’s diet when given as a treat.)
Our fodder peas are marketed in bulk quantities. We supply certified-organic peas in heavy-duty multi-ton sacks or bulk containers, tailored for large-scale feed operations. Each ton of product contains cleaned, whole organic peas ready for immediate use or further processing. Robust packaging (tear-proof bags) ensures integrity during transport. We ship worldwide by container or trailer, meeting international quality and safety standards. (Minimum order is one ton; small retail packs are not available.)
