Valorisation of agricultural production wastes through fermentation into pig and poultry feed

The project focuses on the application of agroecological principles to production systems that combine plant and animal production. Agroecological principles in animal production focus on using local inputs, valorising waste streams, improving nutrient use efficiency, animal health and welfare. This project wants to valorise vegetable and fruit waste streams from crop production via fermentation on farm for pigs and poultry feeds. This project will develop strategies where own locally produced feed ingredients are combined with the waste streams to come to a complete feed for pigs and poultry. Participating countries are Belgium (BE, also coordinator), France (F), Germany (D) and the Netherlands (NL). This project has seven work packages.
