In this interview for AgroNews, Gemma Tedó, Director of the Innovation Group at Lucta, explains how the GO Olivebiome project is working to transform olive by-products, such as alperujo, into functional ingredients for animal feed.
The goal is clear: to improve the resilience and health of pig and poultry livestock through natural solutions like prebiotics and probiotics, reducing antibiotic use and promoting more sustainable farming.
🔬 What progress did Gemma Tedó highlight?
Bioactive compounds with beneficial properties for gut microbiota have been identified in agro-industrial waste. In later phases of the project, their effectiveness will be evaluated under real farm conditions.
♻️ What impact does the project have?
OLIVEBIOME is a clear example of circular economy: it gives a second life to waste that, through biotechnological processes, is transformed into useful and sustainable ingredients. It also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals and the European Green Deal.
🤝 Who is involved?
Lucta works closely with Maslina, FEUGA, and San Miguel Arcangel S.A —partners in the consortium— forming a synergy that combines science, innovation, and environmental commitment.
