EU grain storage has improved but critical bottlenecks remain
With around 4 million tonnes of grains worth over €1 billion moving in the EU every week, a well-functioning storage and logistic system is of great importance to ensure that the demands of the EU market are met at a competitive price. Bottlenecks can lead to supply shortfalls and increased price volatility.

The area under cereals in 2018 is expected to be 1.4% down on last year’s level.
Undigested feed protein affects pigs' health
Combining the use of low levels of dietary protein with highly digestible protein sources and certain probiotics can be a good strategy in the face of the increasing restrictions on the use of antibiotics in feed.
Dietary crude protein increase in lactating diets
Increase crude protein level in lactating diet may enhance milk quality and improve sow and litter performance in high productive sows.
Use of digestible rather than total amino acid affects nitrogen balance in pigs
The use of digestible rather than total amino acid in diet formulation clearly improve N retention and reduces N excretion.
Evaluating low-protein diets for heavy pigs on quality characteristics of dry-cured ham
Environmental impact of heavy pig may be reduced by lowering CP content diets with balanced AA profile without affection ham quality.
Fermented soybean meal for swine weanling diets
Fermented soybean meal may become a suitable and economic protein source for weanling diets according nutrient digestibility and intestinal health.
Use of alfalfa silage is a suitable feed ingredient for fattening pigs in organic pig production systems
Alfalfa silage may be used as suitable AA and protein source for growing pigs for organic pig production, although its methionine content could also be interesting as alternative feed ingredient for conventional pigs.
Reduction of protein levels as strategy to reduce environmental impact of pig production
A reduction of the environmental impact derived from pig production is possible by a suitable nutrient requirement adjust.
EU Commission launches publication of comprehensive EU protein balance sheet
