Advancing Bioprocess Sustainability for Poultry Feed from Algal Biotechnology (ABS-PFAB).

该项目的愿景是开发 ** 下一代藻类衍生产品 **，用于 ** 英国、加拿大 ** 和全球其他商业市场（包括南美、澳大拉西亚和中东和北非）的 ** 家禽生产 **。拟议的研发将改进现有工艺，以：1\。** 显著减少omega-3生产的碳足迹 **，2\。** 开发可持续的蛋白质来源 **.（i）和（ii）都将有助于实现 ** 到2040年农业净零排放的目标。**该项目的主要目标是开发一种更可持续生产、营养丰富的鸡肉，为人类饮食提供丰富的omega-3油来源，同时提高家禽生产的整体功效。该项目联合体设想，这项技术的成果也将适用于初级农业的其他领域（例如水产养殖、养猪），并扩大全球人类饮食中基本脂质的获取。英国和加拿大的商业农场研究 ** 将使用一系列传感器和电子（大）数据来证明这种家禽养殖创新方法的有效性。参与该项目的 ** 加拿大和英国合作伙伴 ** 已经是特定领域 ** 的 ** 专家，即 ** 藻类产品生产和新型/可持续动物饲料生产。**该项目的创新之处在于将这两种关键技能结合到一个完全合作的研发项目中，该项目将产生 ** 新产品 **，这些产品 ** 将为全球 ** 初级农业产业 ** 带来 ** 商业和可持续性 *（即减少碳排放）** 效益。此外，通过结合这些互补技能，预计将改善牲畜的福利和人类营养。

This project's vision is to develop the **next-generation of algae-derived products** for use in **poultry production** in the **UK, Canada**, and other commercial markets worldwide (including South America, Australasia and MENA).The proposed R&D will make improvements to existing processes to:1\. **significantly reduce carbon footprint of omega-3 production**,2\. **develop a sustainable protein source**.Both (i) and (ii) will help with the aim of achieving **net zero agriculture emissions by 2040\.**The key objective of the project is to develop a more sustainably produced, nutrient dense, chicken that will provide a **rich source of omega-3 oils in the human diet** **whilst enhancing the overall efficacy of poultry production**. The project consortium envisages that the results of this technology will also be applicable to other areas of primary agriculture (e.g. aquaculture, pigs) and expand access to essential lipids in human diets globally.**Commercial on-farm studies**, in both the UK and Canada, will use a range of sensors and electronic (big) data to prove the validity of this innovative approach to poultry farming.The **Canadian and UK partners** involved in this project are already **experts in specific areas** i.e. **production of algae products and manufacture of novel/sustainable animal feeds, respectively.** The innovative aspect of this project is to bring together both of these key skills into a fully collaborative R&D project that is to generate **new products** that have **commercial and sustainability** **(i.e. reduced carbon)** benefits for the worldwide **primary agriculture industry.**Furthermore, by combining these complementary skills it is envisaged there will be improvements to the welfare of livestock and benefits to human nutrition.
