What about by-products from cichorium crops?
Climate change brings new crops to Flanders
New crops are appearing in Flanders.
This project therefore posed an essential question with a phytosanitary impact: what can be done in the introduction of unprecedented/new diseases when these crops are grown in the vicinity of the ' traditional ' commercial crops?
Phytosanitary risks of newly introduced crops
VIB and ILVO lead the development of this regional platform consisting of phenotyping under controlled conditions and in the field, with a research focus on drought/salinity adaptation of crops in the frame of climate change.

And how can we formulate and produce organic weaning feed that the piglets like better, taking their nutrient needs into account and staying within a certain price range?
Joining forces for optimal organic feed for weaner piglets
Efficient use of protein in cattle feed in response to climate legislation
Protein savings through improvement of forage quality, precision feeding, and more efficient cows: that is the triple goal of project EKOPTI
Main research questionHow can arable farmers, poultry farmers and the local animal feed industry in Flanders work with crops mixed with legumes, as an alternative source of protein for poultry? This question is answered in a chain perspective, within the OPTIPLUIM project. The aim is to look at cultivation, processing and use.
Optimal cultivation of protein crops for poultry feeding
Main research questionHorseradish (Armoracia rusticana), angelica (Angelica archangelica) and lovage (Levisticum officinale) are three aromatic root crops. Both the fresh plant material and the extracted aromas of these crops can be incorporated into numerous (non)-food applications.
Aroma-roots : aromatic root crops for the bio-economy
Main research questionCan we extract the crude protein from the leguminous plants alfalfa (lucerne) and red clover, which are both green fodder crops with well known cultivation techniques, in order to mix that protein into the rations of (organic) pigs and poultry? We are answering this question in the LUZEX project.
Protein extraction from lucerne and clover for broiler and pig feed
