EU looks into alternative protein sources for food and feed
This study assesses the current state and future prospects of protein production with a focus on conventional and alternative protein sources for food and feed.
European agriculture ministers discussed protein strategy
The Belgian federal and regional agriculture ministers invited their European colleagues to Belgium to discuss food, especially proteins, as a strategic sector for the future of Europe.
Formulation matters: Brewers' spent grains and slurry gas emissions
Including dried brewers' spent grains in the feed not only provides protein but can lessen the environmental impact of pig slurry.
Low-protein diets supplemented with sodium dichloroacetate and glucose: the effect on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of growing-finishing pigs
Low-protein diets supplemented with sodium dichloroacetate and glucose may improve muscle protein deposition in growing-finishing pigs.

Main quality control points in feed mills
Quality is essential for the sustainability, reliability, and profitability of any company. In pig production, we can also apply the integral concept of quality starting with the purchase of raw materials and feed.
