Sustainable feed to optimise layers’ productive life

  • Publication
  • Organisation The University of Queensland
  • Researchers Eugeni Roura

This is a highly beneficial project which will reduce the carbon footprint, reduce feed cost, and promote layer life. This will be done by replacing soybean meal (SBM) with combination of canola meal (CM) and insect meal (BSFL: black soldier fly larvae).

At the end of this project, practical and technical data to formulate commercial diets reduced in both soybean meal and dietary crude protein will be obtained. Moreover, it also creates potential opportunities in focusing on sustainability and transforming human food waste towards the production of ‘green’ eggs.
