🐷 A swine nutritionist with the University of Saskatchewan says that pea starch, produced as a byproduct of the pea processing industry, offers an excellent source of energy for pigs, even though the small size of the particle doesn't flow well through feeding systems and evidence suggests it also raises the risk of ulcers.
