Expanding populations and increasing incomes are main drivers of the need to double global food and fuel production by 2050, while halving greenhouse gas emissions. Demand is surging but supplies struggle to keep up as markets are volatile and there are limited supplies of land and water - is it possible?

Protein structure: Implications in Animal Nutrition

An understanding of the molecular structure of the whole protein is vital to understanding its digestive behavior and nutritive value in animals. However, studies on protein internal structures at molecular and cellular levels in relation to nutritive value and digestive behaviors of protein in animals are extremely rarely.

Lupins in pig diets: competent alternative to soybean meal (2/2)

Hulls and kernels of Australian sweet lupins are durable and hard to break, which means without reasonable mechanical grinding nutrients in lupins would not be digested and absorbed efficiently.

Dietary fibre in nutrition and health of piglets

Dietary fibre (DF) is an important component of all but a few feedstuffs used in the feeding of pigs. It is resistant to digestion by endogenous enzymes in the small intestine thereby becoming the main substrate for bacterial fermentation, particularly in the large intestine.
