The OLIVEBIOME project, focused on innovative solutions for more sustainable animal feed, was recently featured at Innovaspain. The article describes the start of our in vivo trials with chickens and piglets to evaluate functional ingredients obtained from fermented table olives and other agricultural byproducts.
Transforming waste into added value
These by-products, traditionally considered waste, are fermented to become ingredients with prebiotic and probiotic potential, capable of improving the intestinal health of animals, increasing their resilience and contributing to the quality of animal production, all within a circular economy model.
Moving towards sustainability
OLIVEBIOME’s participation in media outlets like Innovaspain enhances the visibility of an initiative that combines biotechnological innovation, environmental sustainability, and animal health. The use of agro-industrial byproducts as a basis for functional ingredients not only provides solutions to current challenges in animal feed but also contributes to more efficient and responsible resource management within the agri-food chain.
