Since feed costs play an important role in livestock production, homegrown feed crops can be key to improve the economic performance of organic farms. Compared to cereals, protein-rich crops such as grain legumes (e.g. soybeans, faba beans, peas) require a heat-treatment before they are usable for feeding pigs or chickens. A careful heat treatment is needed to deactivate anti-nutritive substances and to maintain proteins in good quality.

Compact technologies for heat treatments are used to process legume crops into valuable feed, offering a business opportunity for enterprises and providing farms with a predictable supply with high-quality and traceable feed.
