PEA, abbreviation for pulseless electrical activity. pea leguminous plants, members of the family Fabaceae. The plants may be used as green feed but are too succulent to make into hay. Silage is made from the crop residue after harvesting canning peas but is very subject to fungal infestation. Peas used for livestock feed include canning peas (Pisum sativum), field peas (Pisum sativum), chick peas (Cicer arietinum) and cow peas (Vigna sinensis, syn. V. catjang, V. unguiculata). See also lathyrus. pea hulls a source of dietary fiber in manufactured pet foods. pea-struck poisoning by Darling pea. See swainsona. pea vine ensilage is made from the commercial green pea plants after harvesting and removal of pods. It is now more common to harvest pods from the standing crop, which livestock then graze. Ensilage can be poisonous.
