Untersuchungen zu B-Vitaminen in Getreide und Körnerleguminosen aus ökologischem Anbau

Summary

Vitamin B2 (B2) and vitamin B6 (B6) can largely affect animal health. Therefore, they are supplemented even to organic feedstuffs. Since there is a lack of information on
their actual contents in feedstuffs, we analyzed some cereals and legumes for B2 and B6. The contents, especially of B6, were lower than expected when compared to literature
values. Beans (Vicia faba L.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.) had higher B2 contents than barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Variety had an effect, especially in faba beans. Further studies should include additional feedstuffs.
