Introduction The aim is to produce economically profitable feeding strategies with the ingredients produced organically and sourced within Europe rather than relying on protein imports and feed supplements of non-organic origin. The local 100% organic feeds must provide the required level of nutrients for different phases of production thus supporting high animal health and welfare, while being economically and environmentally sustainable. The project involves 15 partners across 10 countries in central and northern Europe. Background This project is looking into the problems faced by farmers in meeting the future requirement to feed organic pigs and poultry on 100% organic feed. Up until now organic pig and poultry (monogastric) production systems have been allowed to use feed ingredients of non-organic origin. There is concern that a move to a 100% organic diet may not supply sufficient sources of certain essential amino acids, and there is very little experience and limited information on the implications of a shift in feeding strategy to 100% organic. Benefits of the project Through cooperation between 15 partners across Europe, an extended knowledge of the characteristics of different local feeds will be brought together. Their wider impact on growth, health and welfare and the environment will be used to produce feeding strategies which comply with the organic principals for high animal welfare and environmental concerns whilst maintaining production economy. The results of desk studies and experimental work will be drawn together to give a comprehensive overall look at what Europe can grow to feed our monogastric animals in a way which is sustainable; both for the environment and the economy. The results of this project will be of benefit to organic farmers, their advisors, the organic supply chain (feeds on the one hand and pork and poultry producers on the other), organic certification bodies and policy makers.
