-
SMP 2118 Insect oil as a high-quality animal feed ingredient in Uganda
- In many tropical countries, and certainly in Uganda with its high potential for agricultural production, basic animal feed ingredients for energy and protein such as maize and soybeans must usually be obtained at high costs and environmental consequences. Whilst they are adequate for adult animals, these basic ingredients however lack the special qualities and high digestibility that are needed to feed sensitive young animals such as piglets and also fish. -
AQUAEXCEL3.0
- AQUAEXCEL3.0 is the third AQUAEXCEL project in succession, and aims to integrate top class European aquaculture research facilities, covering all relevant scientific fields for research and innovation in aquaculture, from genetics to technology through pathology, physiology and nutrition. -
REFOOTURE - Food Futures Eastern Africa
- Towards regenerative, inclusive food systems in Eastern Africa. -
Grassland management as a measure for the reduction of methane & ammonia emissions
- Grass is a valuable product for dairy cows; with its energy, protein and structure. In addition to the nutritional value, it has many more functions for the soil, landscape and the welfare of cows. In this project we look at the function of grass in relation to the reduction of methane and ammonia emissions. -
Integrated crop-dairy systems as a solution towards circularity in agriculture
- PhD project by Lianne Alderkamp. Combining forage crops and temporary grassland with cash-crop production, can mitigate the environmental impacts of crop and dairy production and can contribute to the development of a resilient agricultural system. This study focuses on the regional integration of crop- and dairy production in the Netherlands. -
BovReg: Understanding cattle genomes
- The aim of BovReg is to identify functions in the cow genome that are relevant to the diversity and plasticity of phenotypes in cattle with respect to robustness, health and biological efficiency. -
To control Coccidiosis in broiler chickens
- Coccidiosis is an important health problem in poultry, caused by infections with a highly contagious intestinal parasite of the genus Eimeria. Eimeria infections in broiler chickens cannot be prevented, despite strict hygiene measures. Infection leads to disease in broiler chickens and thus impaired animal welfare. In addition, infection causes impaired growth and thus production losses, resulting in economic losses and increased environmental impact of the broiler sector. -
AquaImpact
- AquaIMPACT aims to integrate the fields of fish breeding and nutrition to increase the competiveness of EU's main aquaculture species while minimizing environmental impact. -
FutureEuAqua; Future growth in sustainable, resilient and climate friendly organic and conventional European aquaculture
- The overall objective of FutureEUAqua is to effectively promote sustainable growth of resilient, environmental friendly, organic and conventional aquaculture of major fish species and low trophic level organisms in Europe, to meet future challenges with respect to the growing consumer demand for high quality, nutritious and responsibly produced food. -
Building Rural Income through Inclusive Dairy Growth in Ethiopia (BRIDGE)
- Despite Ethiopia's current economic growth, it ranks amongst the world's ten poorest-nations. The Government of Ethiopia's Growth and Transformation Plan II is to achieve economic transformation, with a focus on agri-businesses. Agriculture plays an important role in the national economy of Ethiopia, with mainly smallholder farms.
