Summary in the original language of the document
• Mussels are harvested from nutrient-rich water before maturation.
• Mussels are deshelled by boiling, dried and processed into meal with approximately 60 % crude protein.
• Mussel meal is included in the diet at a maximum 8% in layer hen diets to avoid off flavour in eggs.
• No maximum inclusion rate has been established in piglets.
• Diets can be optimised for essential amino acid requirements and will often include less crude protein.
Summary translation
• Les moules sont récoltées dans une eau riche en nutriments avant leur maturation.
• Elles sont décoquillées par ébullition, séchées et transformées en farine contenant environ 60 % de protéines brutes.
• La farine de moules est incorporée dans l'alimentation des poules pondeuses à hauteur de 8 % maximum afin d'éviter les défauts de goût des oeufs.
• Aucun taux d’incorporation maximal n'a été établi pour les porcelets.
• Les aliments peuvent être optimisés sur l’équilibre en acides aminés essentiels et contiennent souvent moins de protéines brutes.

| What problem does the tool address?: | Organic production should use 100 % organic protein in 2025, but the availability of organic protein is limited. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | Mussel meal can replace other less sustainable protein-rich ingredients, in particular fishmeal, in the diets of organic pigs and layers. Furthermore, mussels can lessen water eutrophication by uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus. |
