Potential of protein transition by locally produced faba beans
To what extent are field beans a valuable and viable protein provider and soy substitute in dairy cattle rations?
Towards a sustainable and profitable soybean cultivation in Flanders
Is it possible to introduce soybean production in Flanders in an economical and sustainable way?
Crop diversification for forage production on animal farms: focus on forage sorgho and mixed cropping of silage maize-climbing beans
.... ILVO explores two alternatives: forage sorghum and mixed cropping of silage maize with climbing beans. Special attention will be given to soil quality, nitrogen cycle, forage yield and forage com...
Setting up a local, sustainable soybean value chain.
...essing technique on an SME scale, extrusion proved too costly. The alternative - grinding the whole bean into soybean meal as a semi-finished product - emerged as being more feasible. Consumer test...
Less soybean meal and lower methane emissions on organic dairy farms
Optimisation of soybean-rhizobia combinations for cultivation in northwest Europe
...o targeted breeding and crop optimization, major improvements have been made in recent years for soybean cultivation in north-western Europe. A further leap forward is the ‘MATCHMAKING’ of locally ...
Catching rhizobia to introduce high protein containing soybean for a sustainable agriculture in Flanders
The aim of this Grand Challenge project is to engage at least 1000 citizens and their gardens to help acquire native rhizobia from Flemish soils that are able to efficiently nodulate soybean.
Validating the use of endemic rhizobia for sustainable soybean cultivation in Northwestern Europe
To what extent can certain locally-found favorable soil bacteria improve the yield and quality of soybean plants, when they enter the soil during seeding?
Breeding of forage and grain legumes to increase protein self-sufficiency in the EU and China
General introductionEUCLEG is an EU Horizon2020 project, in which breeding strategies for soybean, pea, faba bean, red clover and alfalfa are developed in collaboration with 37 research institutes...
OPTImizing Protein Nutrition in cattle to tackle the N- and P-excretions to the environment in an economical way
...tumn grass was unsuccessful but emphasized the significance of the autumn grass cut. Toasting field beans enhanced protein and starch rumen non-degradability, making them a promising alternative pr...

Evaluation of on farm toasting techniques to enable the use of local protein sources in animal feeds
General introductionDairy farmers who grow their own protein crops know that toasting (soy)beans results in remarkably higher feed efficiency. This project investigates how this toasting process c...
Optimal cultivation of protein crops for poultry feeding
General introductionWhen you feed to poultry toasted field bean and wheat from a locally grown mixed crop, the laying or broiler chickens perform as well as if they had been fed soy in their ratio...
