    Feed-a-Gene

    Adapting the feed, the animal and the feeding techniques to improve the efficiency and sustainability of monogastric livestock production systems

    About project

    Feed-a-Gene aims to better adapt different components of monogastric livestock production systems (i.e., pigs, poultry and rabbits) to improve the overall efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact. This involves the development of new and alternative feed resources and...
