First Funding Round Completed

Feed Technology Institute

The project aims to establish a Pilot Feed Factory as a long-term, five-year initiative that strengthens infrastructure and applied research. Managed through a public-private partnership, it will foster collaboration between academia and industry to develop innovative, sustainable feed technologies.

Orffa Additives BV

This project tests red seaweed (Asparagopsis spp.) as a natural feed additive to reduce methane emissions from beef cattle. Through a regional trial in Flanders, partners ILVO, Franson, and Orffa Additives BV aim to achieve up to 60% methane reduction while maintaining animal performance and meat quality. The research will generate practical data to support climate-smart livestock production.

Thammasat University

This project develops a multifunctional feed additive made from palm kernel meal protein hydrolysate and Thai medicinal herbs. The innovation promotes antibiotic-free pig production by offering smallholder farmers an affordable, locally produced alternative to imported additives. It supports waste valorization, animal health, and Thailand’s Bio-Circular-Green economy, contributing to sustainable and resilient livestock systems.

Schothorst Feed Research BV

This project aims to identify mycotoxin and antibiotic exposure on farms through biomonitoring and controlled studies on their interactions in monogastric animals. The findings will inform the development of an online decision-support tool to help farmers, nutritionists, and veterinarians use feed materials more safely and sustainably during critical growth periods.

Faculty of Agricultural Sciences/ University of Abomey-Calavi (FSA/UAC)

The project develops a sustainable, low-cost method to make cottonseed meal safe and nutritious for fish feed. By turning a local byproduct into a valuable protein source, it supports climate-resilient aquaculture and improves food and nutrition security in Benin.

Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (TISTR)

This project explores how fermented soybean residue can be transformed into a sustainable, high-value feed supplement for pigs. By using enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation with beneficial bacteria, the study aims to enhance animal health, feed efficiency, and gut microbiome balance, offering an innovative use for agricultural byproducts.

Internationale Forschungsgemeinschaft Futtermitteltechnik e.V. (IFF)

The NABIOFEED project develops sustainable, plant-based feed ingredients using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) to extract bioactive compounds that support animal health. This green innovation helps reduce antibiotic use and promotes a more sustainable livestock sector.
