Potential analysis

For the practical use of domestic protein feedstuffs in feeding, the decisive factor is whether they are competitive with imported goods. However, this is not only dependent on the respective market price. The use (as well as the production and provision) of domestic protein sources is associated with synergy effects, which must be taken into account when assessing economic efficiency. Tapping into the value creation potential of domestic protein sources requires the ability to tailor them to specific farm requirements.

In close cooperation between the partners, the value creation potential of domestic protein sources in organic monogastric feeding is to be analyzed in terms of demand and supply as well as in terms of development through cooperation. Practical farms with organic pig and poultry farming provide the data basis for the optimization of feed rations with domestic protein sources and the calculation of the cost-benefit ratio when implementing various feeding strategies in agricultural practice. The aims of the project are to analyze the potential of individual farm optimization strategies for a demand-oriented nutrient supply with domestic protein sources and the economic potential of cooperation between feed manufacturers and suppliers.
