Developing Alternative Animal Feed Ingredients: 182

Bol

This book provides a detailed overview of the range of alternative animal feed ingredients, ranging from plant co-products and food waste, to single-cell proteins and seaweed and algae. The book also addresses the key issues and challenges facing their development, such as the need to meet nutritional quality, sustainability, safety and other regulatory requirements. Global consumption of meat and other animal-derived products has risen drastically in the last 50 years. At the same time, the livestock sector has come under scrutiny for its reliance on feed sources which carry a significant environmental impact. Alternative animal feed ingredients are seen as an increasingly popular option to meet this growing demand, whilst also ensuring that food is produced more sustainably. Developing alternative animal feed ingredients provides a comprehensive overview of the key groups of alternative animal feed ingredients, from cereal grains and oil seeds, to animal by-products and single-cell proteins. The book also considers the key issues and challenges that must be addressed by the animal feed sector during the development of alternative animal feed ingredients, such as the need for new products to meet nutritional quality, sustainability, safety and other regulatory requirements. Edited by a leading expert in the field, the book will be a standard reference for university and other researchers working in livestock science departments with a focus on nutrition, companies involved in the manufacturing of animal feed, farmers and advisers, as well as government and other private sector agencies responsible for regulating the safety of the animal feed sector. Dr Nico van Belzen is Director General at ScienceConsult, The Netherlands. He is also former Director General of the International Dairy Federation (IDF), Belgium. He has occupied senior roles in both industry and research organisations, both as Head of the Research and Analysis department at the ingredients division of Campina and as Executive Director of the European Branch of the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI). Dr van Belzen is editor of two earlier Burleigh Dodds Science volumes: Achieving sustainable production of milk Volume 1: Safety, quality and sustainability and Achieving sustainable production of milk Volume 2: Milk composition, genetics and breeding (both published in 2017).
