A greener natural feed supplement for more sustainable animal farming

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

This project aims to improve the intestinal microflora of carnivorous and herbivorous farmed fish in favor of better plant-feed digestion, enhanced natural immunity and reduced pollution. Switching the diet of farmed animals to lower trophic level feeds (high in plant and low in animal protein sources) presents a scientific challenge that we propose to solve using an interdisciplinary team with expertise in pharmacy, fish nutrition, immunology and bio-informatics.
