Belfast headquartered farming and food company, Devenish, says a world first clinical trial it carried out with RSCI indicates the health benefits of regular consumption of chicken-meat and eggs naturally enriched with algae-sourced omega-3-PUFAs.
Salmon producer, Lerøy, says it has reduced its use of marine sourced omega-3 fatty acids by switching to a feed incorporating a DHA laden microalgae product.
A researcher based at the Technical University of Denmark (DTC) says he has found a method to make microalgae derived cost-effective fish feed ingredients.
Polish researchers found capric acid increased piglet body weight gain, as did the probiotic, Enterococcus faecium, but only in the last stage of the rearing period.
German researchers have found the inclusion of chopped, extruded or pelleted silage in organic layer diets benefits the fatty acids composition, color and cholesterol content of egg yolks.
Imported tocopherols will now be subject to 100% monitoring for dioxin testing in the EU under amendments brought in during a review of Commission Regulation 225/2012.
