Collaborative project: Development of innovative plant-derived feed additives for the improvement of animal health and efficiency in the production of animal foodstuff - subproject 1
Project
Project code: 2813803710
Contract period: 01.04.2012
- 31.03.2015
Budget: 193,365 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
The aim of the research project is to develop innovative plant-based feed additives. Thus, so far under-utilized by-products of mango fruit processing are sustainably exploited, and their nutritional effects shall be thoroughly characterized. Digestive processes are expected to be stabilized, animal health to be improved and nutrient and resource exploitation to be enhanced. These outcomes are deduced from in vitro and in vivo trials with piglets and broilers. By applying innovative nutritional methods including techniques of molecular biology, a comprehensive characterization of the active principles and particularly of their modes of action is expected. These tasks are of particular relevance for the scientific evaluation of the products, the publication of the results in scientific journals and for putting the results into practice by the industrial partners.
