Description

Enabling a circular economy for poultry via exploration of metabolism. This project aims to address the environmental and economic burden of food waste by enabling its utilisation as a feed for poultry. This project expects to generate new knowledge in poultry nutrition using a holistic approach exploring the nutritional, health, welfare, economic and environmental effects of food waste diets for poultry. The expected outcomes of this project include enabling food waste diets for poultry and a greater understanding of basic nutrition including, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. This should provide significant environmental and economic benefits by utilising food waste that would otherwise go to landfill and improving our understanding of poultry nutrition, giving potential economic savings over $500 million.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 3003 - Animal Production. Lead: Dr Amy Moss
