This paper reviews current knowledge on two feedstuffs, that is, insect meal and fish by-products, as alternatives to conventional animal protein sources. After an introductory part highlights the need for sustainable development of production, alternative sources are discussed. In particular, after providing some indications their production supply focussing EU, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis was performed identify key factors could help or impair both...
With the diminishing availability of farmland, climate change and threat declining water resources, livestock needs to meet growing demand for food feed by using fewer resources. The re-use losses as sustainable ingredients formulations could represent a promising alternative cereal grains both monogastrics ruminants, increasing sustainability reducing competition between animal human nutrition. acceptance leftover feeding animals it is still far be completely welcomed in several countries,...
Feed security, feed quality and issues surrounding the safety of raw materials are always interest to all livestock farmers, manufacturers competent authorities. These concerns even more important when alternative ingredients, new product developments innovative feeding trends, like insect-meals, considered. The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is considered a good candidate be used as ingredient for aquaculture other farm animals, mainly an protein source. Data on transfer contaminants...
The expected future demand for highly nutrient animal food products will push the production system to search new sources of high-quality protein feedstuffs. In this scenario, economic and environmental issues have be considered while reducing competition with plant-based human chains. Legume grains some oilseed cakes, by-products from oil industry, are main ruminants terrestrial monogastrics such as pigs poultry. Their relevant role hold in next decades, but it is necessary increase...
Abstract The present review examines the importance of choline in dairy cow nutrition. Choline is an essential nutrient for mammals when excess methionine and folate are not available diet. requirement can be met by dietary transmethylation reactions. Two types functions known: per se ; as a methyl donor. two principal donors animal metabolism betaine, metabolite choline, S-adenosyl-methionine, methionine. interchangeable with regard to their group-furnishing functions. In adult ruminants,...
Former food products (FFPs) are foodstuffs that, even though they nutritious and safe, have lost their value on the human consumption market for different reasons, such as production errors leading to broken or intermediate foodstuffs, surpluses caused by logistical challenges of daily delivery, any other reason. The nutritional features FFPs include carbohydrates, free sugars, possibly also fats. tend been processed through various technological heat treatments that impact nutrients...
Insects are able to convert organic material (i.e. waste and by products) into high-quality biomass, which can be processed animal feed. Several studies have investigated the influence of growing substrates on nutritional value different insect species, particularly black soldier fly larvae prepupae. This article reviews how insects bioconvert substrates, effect substrate composition meals, development time (time needed reach harvesting state). All these indicate that low high quality waste,...
Summary We investigated the influence of rumen‐protected choline (RPC) supplementation on milk production, lipid metabolism and vitamin E status in dairy cows receiving a silage‐based diet. Twenty‐six Italian Holstein multiparous were assigned by weight average production previous lactation, to one two groups: control (no RPC supplementation) (supplemented with 20 g/day chloride). Treatment began 14 days before expected calving continued for 30 after parturition. Choline administration...
Food waste and feed-food competition can be reduced by replacing traditional feed ingredients such as cereals, with former food products (FFPs) in livestock diets. These foodstuffs, initially intended for human consumption, are recovered, mechanically unpacked, then ground. Despite this simple inexpensive treatment, packaging contaminants (remnants) often unavoidable the final product. To maximize exploitation of FFPs to minimize associated risks, remnants need quantified characterized. This...
