Extractions: A new, preliminary report on Possibilities and limitations of protein supply in organic poultry and pig production (PDF) provides an overview of the many different aspects of protein supply in organic poultry and pig production. Part 1 describes the objective of organic livestock production and introduces the situation. Part 2 describes protein sources in conventional and organic livestock production. In part 3 the effect of protein supply of groups of poultry and pigs with different protein requirements are described. Part 4 is a discussion about the effect on product quality. Conclusions and preliminary recommendations are given in Part 5, 6 and 7 respectively. The report is preliminary and it is based on the available literature and limited time and resources in the project. There might be relevant literature that we are not aware of. We are therefore releasing this preliminary report in order to get inputs to the final revision. Especially feedbacks on relevant scientific literature, which are not mentioned in the report, will very welcome.
