ProRefine: Valorisation of forage legumes for both monogastric animals and ruminants through fractionation
2019
Juncker, Eric | Adler, Steffen A.
ProRefi ne aims to gain new knowledge about local food systems in organic farming based on fractionation of forage legumes, such as lucerne and red clover. We will compare fractionation at harvest (leaves and stems) and post-harvest (juice and pulp). We aim to develop protein feeds that are suitable for monogastric animals such as pigs and poultry and fi ber-rich feeds that can be used by ruminants such as dairy cows. We will develop integrated systems for animal production in organic farming that can be adapted to different regions in Europe and Turkey. Furthermore, we aim to assess the sustainability of such systems regarding economy, social aspects and environmental impact.
