Vegetable scraps: bioconversion for poultry farming
This plan general objective is the enhancement of waste management of fruit, vegetable and cereal growers companies in order to get poultry feed to pursue a circular economy, in which the products retain their value as long as possible and minimize the waste production and their impact on the environment.
To realize the plan the following activities will be organized:
• larvae digestion of vegetable scraps.
• Analytical evaluation of larvae as well as of initial and final compost (fat protein, mycotoxin content).
• Poultry diet integration with larvae according to current regulations
• Analytical evaluation of poultry meat and eggs
• life cycle assessment of the activities undertaken in order to evaluate the reduction of the environmental impact due to the re-use of vegetable scraps.
• Panel tests to evaluate consumer acceptance of poultry meat and eggs from animals feed with larvae.
The expected results are:
• the reuse of the vegetable scraps through digestion by larvae of Hermetia illucens (Diptera:Stratiomyidae) and Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). In this way larvae with high fat an protein content can be obtained. Such larvae can be used as dietary supplement in poultry farming meanwhile the residues can be used as fertilisers.
• Significant reduction/demolition of mycotoxin concentration (if any) comparing the starting material with larvae and remaining compost content.
• Qualitative and quantitative increase of poultry carcasses and eggs
• Feedback from panel tests with final consumers to be done in shops (farm outlets, local markets and supermarkets)
