The project is an initiative of Victam, WUR, Zetadec, Aeres and Feed Design Lab, Agrifirm, PTN, Phileo, DSM and Elanco.
We studied how co-products from agriculture and (food) industry can be effectively included in pellet feed, without effecting pellet quality, from a technological perspective. These co-products originate, for example, from food- or biofuel production. The project has now been completed and the results will be presented during this symposium.
