    abstract = {<I>V. ervilia</I> seeds were exposed to EB-irradiation (10, 
  20 and 30 kGy) and physicochemical properties, anti-nutritional factors and 
  subsequent effects on digestibility [RDS, SDS, RS, <I>in vitro</I> and <I>in 
  vivo</I> digestibility] in broilers were investigated. Irradiation had significant 
  effects (p&lt;0.05) on chemical compositions so that decreased moisture, crude 
  protein, ether extract and crude fiber contents. EB-irradiation of seeds resulted 
  in significant dose-dependent decrease of anti-nutritional factors (total phenols, 
  tannins, condensed tannins, canavanine and trypsin inhibitor) (p&lt;0.05). EB-irradiation 
  decreased the proportion of RDS and SDS of <I>V. ervilia</I> seeds but increased 
  the proportions of RS. The increase in RS content indicates that the irradiation 
  induced the structural modification besides the chain degradation. Irradiation 
  improved (p&lt;0.05) <I>in vivo</I> digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, 
  true protein and gross energy but decreased <I>in vitro</I> and <I>in vivo</I> 
  starch digestibility.}
