Project

Feed4Foodure

Feed4Foodure is a public private partnership between “Vereniging Diervoederonderzoek Nederland” (a Dutch association for animal nutrition research) and Wageningen University & Research.

The Dutch Ministry of Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature supports the research programme through the TKI Agri&Food. The partners focus on sustainable animal nutrition and livestock husbandry. This includes resource efficiency, reduction of the ecological footprint of animal production and healthy and robust animals.
