Energy-rich vs. Protein rich
ingredients • Basis of compound feed is energy-rich feed
materials
– Cereals

– Tapioca
• Completed by protein-rich feed materials
(>25% protein)
– Oilseed meals
– Processed Animal Proteins

Price development of EU feed
ingredients
• Price fishmeal: from 2000 – 2014 tripled
• Price soybean meal: from 2000 – 2014 doubled
• Since 2009: increasing contrast between price soybean meal and wheat

In short
• Global demand for feed proteins will increase
but EU demand will remain stable
• EU dependency for its protein supply remains
stable but dependency of third countries vis-à-
vis the EU market is decreasing
• Traditional resources get scarce and
challenged for their sustainability
What to do?
22 September 2016 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary 12
What to do?
• Improving the sustainability of existing
protein sources
– Responsible soy
– Sustainable fisheries
22 September 2016 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary 13
A jungle of responsible soy standards
22 September 2016 14 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary
FEFAC soy sourcing guidelines
• 6 principles – Legal compliance
– Responsible working conditions
– Environmental responsibility
– Good agricultural practices
– Respect for legal use of land / land rights
– Protection of community relations
• 59 criteria – 37 essential criteria: all should be met
– 22 desired criteria: at least 5 should be met
• Verification is essential
22 September 2016 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary 15
What to do?
• Improving the sustainability of existing protein sources
– Responsible soy
– Sustainable fisheries
• Improving resource efficiency
– Use of amino acids
– Reduction of protein levels in feed
– Improving feed conversion ratio

Resource efficiency -
Effective animal nutrition

What to do?
• Improving the sustainability of existing protein sources
– Responsible soy
– Sustainable fisheries
• Improving resource efficiency
– Use of amino acids
– Reduction of protein levels in feed
– Improving feed conversion ratio
• Looking for substitutes to traditional
protein sources
– « Conventional »
– « Non conventional » 22 September 2016 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary 18
Alternatives to imported soya
Conventional
• Processed Animal
Proteins
• Soya (EU produced)
• Other oilseed meals
• Pulses
• Protein concentrates
(soya, potatoe, pea)
• Alfalfa
• Fish trimmings
22 September 2016 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary 19
Non-conventional
• Insects
• Algae
• Duckweed
• Jatropha
• Quinoa
• Sugar beet leaves
• Single cells proteins
Limits to substitutions Different requirements for different species
Species Young animals / fish
Ruminants Monogastrics adults
Level of proteins of protein rich feed ingredients
Very high concentrations >60%
Moderate concentrations 27 - 44
High concentrations 30-48
Protein quality Very high digestibility
Low digestibility High digestibility
Antinutrients Very low levels Low levels Low levels

Limits to substitutions
• Quality (digestibility, amino-acid profile)
• Concentration in proteins
• Price
• Legislation (processed animal proteins,
insects)
• Public acceptance
• Environment Foot print

What alternatives to soya proteins? FEFAC workshop – Piacenza – Oct. 2015
22 September 2016 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary 23
Cultivation, processing and nutritional aspects for pigs and poultry of European protein sources as alternatives for imported soybean products Wageningen University (Van Krimpen et al., 2013)
• European cultivated soybeans seems most
promising long-term alternative for South American
soybeans
– Requires crop yield -> 5 ton/ha
• Peas seems the most promising short-term
alternative
– Plant is very sensitive for pathogens and pests
– Pea protein concentrate -> application in organic diets
• Lucerne/grass has high protein yield/ha
– Nutritional value is low
– Drying requires energy (Carbon footprint)
– Protein extraction?
Van Krimpen et al., 2013: Main conclusions (1)
• Leaf proteins probably potential in long-term
– Cost effective protein extraction technique
– Determination of nutritional value
• Aquatic proteins probably interesting in long-term
(low land use, protein yield/ha)
– Determination of nutritional value
– Energy costs for drying/biorefinery
• Insects probably an alternative in long-term
(low land use, conversion of wastes)
– Need for reducing costs of production
– Legislative aspects (catering waste / manure as feedstock?)
– Social acceptance
Van Krimpen et al., 2013: Main conclusions (2)
• In terms of CFP, potential alternatives
are: – European soybean meal
– Processed animal proteins
– Algae
• No or low land use for: – Aquatic proteins
– Single cell proteins
– Insects
– Meat and bone meal
Van Krimpen et al., 2013: Main conclusions (3)
