Valorization of fibrous plant by-products as feed and for energy purposes

Obiettivi
Objectives

The project aims to create the conditions for an economic and efficient use of by-products and fibrous wastes within the farm, for their direct valorization in ruminant feed as a first priority, and secondly for the energy production. Specific objectives for valorization of plant byproducts are:
1. development of conservative techniques and use of by-products.
2. determining the value (nutritional, energy, biological, health and economic) of the obtained material. The results of each specific objective contribute to the overall result expected by the plan: define the conditions of storage and use of fibrous plant by-products in the feeding of ruminant, and secondarily for energy production.

Activities

The plan actions (cooperation; action 1 - tests for storage; action 2 - evaluation of the use of the stored product; action 3 - study of the logistics and impacts; action 4 - dissemination; training.) will allow to develope a forecasting model of conservation status and the nutritional value of by-products after storage.

Pratice abstract
Description

The objective of the project is to create the conditions for an economic and efficient use of fibrous plant by-products and wastes within the farm, for their direct valorization in ruminant feeding as a first priority and secondarily for energy production.
Results of the different actions will develop a forecasting model of conservation status and the nutritional value of by-products after storage .
These are the results:
1.protocols of supply management, silage and use - in animal feeding and for energy production - of biomas: tomato hulls, green forages, sweet corn wastes and beer draffs, in association with other products less humid;
2.indications of nutritional, energy, biological, health and economic value of by-products after storage and of their use in animal feeding;
3.study related on supply logistics;
4.CO2 savings of the proposed processes, and analysis of the overall cost/benefit of complete process
