Algae-based Feed

StarStarStarStar

Algae can grow quickly and produces a high protein content, which can substitute for fishmeal or soy in animal feed. Its cultivation can also absorb CO2, contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gases.

Food Waste

StarStarStarStar

Repurposing edible food waste as livestock feed not only tackles food waste challenges but also lessens the need for traditional feed crops, reducing the pressure on arable land.

Legume Integration

StarStarStarStar

Incorporating legumes like clover into pastures can fix nitrogen in the soil, reducing fertilizer need and providing a high-protein forage source for grazing animals.

StarStarStarStar

Rotational Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Rotational grazing practices allow pastures to recover while being grazed sequentially, leading to better land use, increased biodiversity, and soil health improvement.

StarStarStarStar

Single-Cell Proteins

StarStarStarStar

Single-cell proteins from bacteria, yeast, and fungi can be rapidly produced and are a rich source of protein and vitamins, providing essential nutrients for livestock while being produced sustainably.

StarStarStarStar

Insect Protein Meal

StarStarStarStar

Insect meal is a sustainable protein source as insects convert feed into protein efficiently, emit fewer greenhouse gases, and can be raised on organic waste, reducing environmental impact.

StarStarStarStar

Industrial by-products

StarStarStarStar

Using by-products from industries like brewing or milling provides a nutrient-rich feed while minimizing waste and providing a use for otherwise discarded materials.

StarStarStarStar

Crop Residues

StarStarStarStar

Using agricultural by-products like stalks, husks, and leaves as animal feed helps in waste reduction and offers a cost-effective feed source for farmers.
