The CAPRI bean variety is an early-maturing fodder type, distinguished by high yield and uniform ripening, which reduces the risk of seed shattering. Thanks to these characteristics, it ensures a stable supply of quality feed for dairy herds.
Fodder beans CAPRI contain a significant amount of tannins, which form complexes with proteins in the feed. These complexes pass through the cattle's forestomach and break down in the small intestine, releasing protein. Such a mechanism increases protein transit to the small intestine and improves its absorption, which is particularly important for dairy production.
In 2023, the CAPRI variety was officially registered as a high-yield type with high tannin content. It belongs to the group of fodder beans (Vicia faba), which are valued for their nutritional value and are suitable for both animal and human consumption.
