Common products:
Vicia amurensis is primarily cultivated as a forage legume. The above‑ground biomass is harvested as hay or made into silage for ruminant feeding. In addition, the crop is used as a green manure, where the standing or cut plants are incorporated into the soil to enrich nitrogen pools. The whole plant can also be processed into protein‑rich meal for compound feed, especially for cattle, sheep and goats.

Properties relevant to use:
The species establishes symbiotic nodules with Rhizobium, allowing atmospheric nitrogen fixation of roughly 100–150 kg N ha⁻¹ in temperate soils. Its shoots contain 14–20 % crude protein on a dry‑matter basis and have relatively low neutral detergent fiber (NDF) content (≈35–45 %), contributing to high digestibility for livestock. The plant tolerates low temperatures, enabling growth in early spring and late autumn, which extends the grazing season. Seed protein exhibits a balanced amino‑acid profile, making the meal suitable as a protein supplement.

Standards and regulation:
Vicia amurensis is subject to general national feed and forage safety regulations. In China it complies with the Feed Safety Standard (GB 13078) for livestock feed, and in the European Union it falls under Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed. No specific industry standards are dedicated solely to this species.

Sustainability and sourcing:
Cultivation of Vicia amurensis contributes to sustainable cropping systems by providing a nitrogen‑fixing component that reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. Its tolerance to cold soils allows integration into rotations with cereals, improving soil organic matter and breaking pest cycles. The species is grown on marginal lands in northern China and the Russian Far East, supporting smallholder livestock enterprises while enhancing environmental resilience.
