In the future feed for fish and animals will be produced partly by using protein with minimum dependence on soil and water. Unibio is the project leader of a new project funded by GUDP, the Green Development and Demonstration Programme, a funding programme under the Danish Ministry for Food, Fisheries, Equal Opportunities and Nordic Cooperation.
Unibio and its project partners, DTU Aqua of the Technical University of Denmark, BioMar, a world leader in high-performance diets, the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences of University of Copenhagen (KU) and Danish Agro, an agro-industrial company, have been granted funding by GUDP for a project whose main objective is to validate and optimize the nutritional and functional properties of Unibio’s Uniprotein® when used as feed for salmonids and piglets.
Earlier studies in salmonids and piglets have shown that Uniprotein® may improve growth and intestinal health and reduce N and P excretion. By inclusion of Uniprotein® in commercial feeds, the aim is to increase the production potential and animal welfare through improved performance of the tested species…
