Investigation of the potential of partly replacing fish meal with Danish grown organic protein crops in feed for organic rainbow trout
Linking the organic farmers to the ongoing research through active involvement in case studies of the organic production systems
Preliminary results
Achieved concentrated protein fractions of selected protein crops
Achieved acceptable results with respect to specific growth rate and digestibility of diets, where fish meal protein was partly replaced by organic plant protein
Focus on optimization of organic farming systems through a close dialogue with the organic trout farmers
Potential for bigger share of organic plant ingredients in fish feed
Knowledge about digestibility/bio availability of nutrient components in organic vegetables
