The H2020 project Feed-a-Gene has been researching and developing new alternative feed resources and feed technologies for the past 3 years to better adapt different components of monogastric livestock production systems.
Co-ordinated at INRA and with funding lasting until 2020 it will develop, amongst other things, biological models of livestock functioning to better understand and predict nutrient and energy utilisation of animals along their productive trajectory and demonstrate the technologies developed by the project with partners from the feed industry, breeding companies and farmers’ organisations to promote the practical implementation of the project results.
