Full Description
Sustainable Livestock Nutrition through Alternative Feed Ingredients synthesizes the latest knowledge on alternative feed ingredients in livestock diets. With the use of sustainable, low-waste, and circular feed ingredients, livestock can gain essential key nutrients while reducing their environmental impact. Through meticulous research and practical insights, the book explores alternative proteins and nutritional sources for a variety of animals. Cutting-edge, low-impact ingredients, including insects, algae, microalgae, seaweed, and freshwater plants are covered and compared.
Written and edited by an international team of experts, and with a focus on enhancing animal health and welfare while minimizing environmental impact, this book serves as a vital resource for researchers, farmers, students, and policymakers.
