Pig feed rations have also been the focus of novel protein R&D
In Denmark, researchers have been seeking to replace common protein ingredients in swine feed like soybean meal with a clover grass-based protein ingredient.
Researchers in Norway are looking to trees to develop a new protein ingredient for piglets. Adding inactivated Cyberlindnera jadinii yeast – derived from sugar collected from Norwegian spruce trees – to feed could be a way to reduce the reliance on conventional protein sources.
