High protein soybean meal for aquaculture could soon be a commercially reality, as US biotech company Amfora embarks on a program to apply its patented gene editing technology to develop crops with an enhanced protein content.
A year has passed since the European regulation authorizing insect proteins in fish feeds came into force. FeedNavigator catches up with Antoine Hubert – a man at the center of industry developments – to find out how the sector has moved on.
Special Edition: Lowering the carbon footprint of feed
Microbial protein production, driven by on renewable hydrogen, and coupled with carbon capture, could be an interesting ‘out of the box’ solution as protein source for food and feed that warrants further exploration, finds a new paper.
Special Edition: Lowering the carbon footprint of feed
Low- and high-tannin faba beans may support turkey gut health and provide a locally grown alternative feed ingredient to the use of soybean meal for turkey producers, says researcher.
Dairy cattle pelleted feeds made with carinata meal may provide more protein than diets made with conventional protein meals like canola meal, say researchers.
Special Edition: Lowering the carbon footprint of feed
Novel proteins can replace soybean products in European poultry diets while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and arable land requirements for feed provision relative to conventional diets, finds a study.
The level of success of the EU Commission’s EU Protein Plan depends, to a great extent, on whether the European feed industry is able to incorporate locally cultivated protein crops in feed formulations, argues FEFAC.
EFSA says it has received new data from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) to help it assess environmental risk from supplementing feed for salmonids with a higher level of vitamin D3.
Amino acid (AA) concentrations are highest in red, followed by green, and lowest in brown seaweeds, found Danish and Norwegian researchers looking at the potential of macroalgae as an alternative protein source in dairy cow diets.
The UK’s University of Nottingham says a new £6m (US $8.05m) facility will position it at the forefront of research into the health, nutrition and welfare of dairy cows.
