The economic and environmental sustainability of organic animal production is challenged by limited self-sufficiency of high-quality protein and, hence, production relies on imported protein supplements. Knowledge of the production of more local protein sources is needed.
Solution
Fractionation of forage legumes through biorefining allows the production of high-quality protein applicable for monogastric animals, in parallel with fibre feed relevant for ruminants.
Description
This CORE Organic Practice Abstract gives practical recommendations on how to extract protein from forage legumes. The knowledge obtained in ProRefine will support the implementation of biorefined forage legumes as high-quality protein sources in the European organic sector and will thus contribute to a strengthening of the agricultural sector in Europe as a whole, through improved utilisation of local resources.
