Flying cow: Decreasing nitrogen and methane emissions from the dairy sector by using non-edible insect-derived products as feed ingredients

    Project: NWO project

    Project Details

    Description

    Dairy cattle produce milk and meat, but also emit the greenhouse gas methane and excrete ammonia. By providing unfermentable, high quality, protein these emissions can be decreased. Currently, soybean meal is treated and used for this purpose. We will investigate if human inedible insect by-products can serve the same purpose.
