Phasey bean (Macroptilium lathyroides)

Forage

No evidence of toxicity has been found in cattle or in horses (Cook et al., 2005).

Seeds

Phasey bean seeds contain low levels of non-toxic lectin and moderate amounts of trypsin inhibitors (Grant et al., 1995). They do not require heat-treatment prior to use (Grant et al., 1991).
