Practice abstracts (Deliverable 5.3 OK-Net EcoFeed Project)

Summary

This deliverable is part of the Horizon 2020 project – OK-Net EcoFeed. The overall aim of OK-Net EcoFeed is to help farmers, breeders and the organic feed processing industry in achieving the goal of 100% use of organic and regional feed for monogastrics, in particular pigs, broilers, laying hens and parents of broilers and laying hens. In the project, the existing OK-Net knowledge platform (organic-farmknowledge.org) is developed further and extended with in-formation related to organic and regional feed for monogastrics and to promote the platform and its tools in Europe. Work packages 4 and 5 contribute especially to the tools on the platform as described in Task 5.2 "Toolbox with relevant tools and materials related to organic and regional feed".
As part of the activities, partners wrote fact sheets and helped selecting tools that are of relevance for farmers related to the goal of 100 % use of organic and regional feed for monogastrics. In total, 98 items were either pro-duced in the framework of the project or collected by the project partners, and made available in the EIP common format for practice abstracts. All materials are also available on organic-farmknowledge.org. Themes covered in-clude pigs, broilers, layers, feeding and ration planning and processing and handling of harvested feed.
