Enabling a circular economy for poultry via exploration of metabolism

该项目旨在通过将食物垃圾用作家禽饲料来解决食物垃圾带来的环境和经济负担。该项目希望通过整体方法探索食物垃圾日粮对家禽的营养、健康、福利、经济和环境影响，从而产生家禽营养方面的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括使家禽的食物垃圾饲料成为可能，并加深对包括碳水化合物和脂肪代谢在内的基本营养的了解。通过利用原本会被填埋的食物垃圾，提高我们对家禽营养的了解，这将带来显著的环境和经济效益，潜在的经济节省将超过5亿美元。

This project aims to address the environmental and economic burden of food waste by enabling its utilisation as a feed for poultry. This project expects to generate new knowledge in poultry nutrition using a holistic approach exploring the nutritional, health, welfare, economic and environmental effects of food waste diets for poultry. The expected outcomes of this project include enabling food waste diets for poultry and a greater understanding of basic nutrition including, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. This should provide significant environmental and economic benefits by utilising food waste that would otherwise go to landfill and improving our understanding of poultry nutrition, giving potential economic savings over $500 million.
