[QUOTE="Onthebit, post: 593864, member: 8087"] In one study 117 yearling heifers were fed finishing rations containing 0, 10%, 20% or 30% field peas in a corn-based diet for 76 days. There were no discernable effects on carcass traits but when a panel of expert tasters ate the beef, the field pea-finished steaks proved superior on juiciness and tenderness. It seems the effect on juiciness plateaus at about 20% field pea while it kept trending upwards to the 30% level on tenderness ratings [/QUOTE]
