Clover-grass protein bio-refining: nutrient composition and shelf life

Anaerobic storage maintains high protein quality in clover-grass for organic feed production

or

Detail description

Clover-grass protein concentrate produced via bio-refining shows high protein and amino acid content, with stable quality during anaerobic storage. Lactic acid bacteria increase and pH drops significantly within 14 days, indicating effective preservation. This method offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional drying, supporting sustainable feed production for organic poultry. Results are based on pilot-scale trials at Aarhus University, Foulum, Denmark, and are relevant to farmers, advisers, and food companies in northern and central Europe.
