22 September 2016 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary 2

The Agricultural business:

unprecedented growth potential

Development of compound feed

production (*1,000 t)

• Increase in feed production (2007 – 2015):

– EU feed production 5%

– Global feed production 35%

• Prospect 1500 million tonnes in 2050

Energy-rich vs. Protein rich

ingredients • Basis of compound feed is energy-rich feed

materials

– Cereals

– Cereal by-products

– Tapioca

• Completed by protein-rich feed materials

(>25% protein)

– Oilseed meals

– Processed Animal Proteins

– Pulses


Sources of proteins used for animal

feeding in EU in 2012/13


Soya meal 60%

Sunflower + rapeseed meal 29%

Pulses 2%

Dried forages 3%

Others 6%

Fish meals 1%

(% of the total protein use, EU-production + imports calculated in protein equivalent)

EU-27 protein balance sheet for

different feed in 2012/13

Products Self sufficiency (based on protein content)

Soya (*) 2%

Rapeseed + sunflower (*) 74%

Pulses 94%

Dried forages 106%

Miscellaneous (**) 56%

Fishmeal 67%

Total protein-rich feed materials 31%

Proteins in compound feed 52-56%

Proteins in total animal feed consumption 73-76%

EU

Dependency of third countries vis-

à-vis EU outlet for soya


Sustainability: meat and soya in

the spolight


Price development of EU feed

ingredients

• Price fishmeal: from 2000 – 2014 tripled

• Price soybean meal: from 2000 – 2014 doubled

• Since 2009: increasing contrast between price soybean meal and wheat

In short

• Global demand for feed proteins will increase

but EU demand will remain stable

• EU dependency for its protein supply remains

stable but dependency of third countries vis-à-

vis the EU market is decreasing

• Traditional resources get scarce and

challenged for their sustainability

What to do?


What to do?

• Improving the sustainability of existing

protein sources

– Responsible soy

– Sustainable fisheries


A jungle of responsible soy standards

22 September 2016 14 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary

FEFAC soy sourcing guidelines

• 6 principles – Legal compliance

– Responsible working conditions

– Environmental responsibility

– Good agricultural practices

– Respect for legal use of land / land rights

– Protection of community relations

• 59 criteria – 37 essential criteria: all should be met

– 22 desired criteria: at least 5 should be met

• Verification is essential


What to do?

• Improving the sustainability of existing protein sources

– Responsible soy


• Improving resource efficiency

– Use of amino acids

– Reduction of protein levels in feed

– Improving feed conversion ratio


Resource efficiency -

Effective animal nutrition


What to do?

• Improving the sustainability of existing protein sources

– Responsible soy


• Improving resource efficiency

– Use of amino acids

– Reduction of protein levels in feed

– Improving feed conversion ratio

• Looking for substitutes to traditional

protein sources

– « Conventional »

– « Non conventional » 22 September 2016 EURL-AP 10th Anniversary 18

Alternatives to imported soya

Conventional

• Processed Animal

Proteins

• Soya (EU produced)

• Other oilseed meals

• Pulses

• Protein concentrates

(soya, potatoe, pea)

• Alfalfa

• Fish trimmings


Non-conventional

• Insects

• Algae

• Duckweed

• Jatropha

• Quinoa

• Sugar beet leaves

• Single cells proteins

Limits to substitutions Different requirements for different species

Species Young animals / fish

Ruminants Monogastrics adults

Level of proteins of protein rich feed ingredients

Very high concentrations >60%

Moderate concentrations 27 - 44

High concentrations 30-48

Protein quality Very high digestibility

Low digestibility High digestibility

Antinutrients Very low levels Low levels Low levels

• Legislation (processed animal proteins,

insects)

• Public acceptance

What alternatives to soya proteins? FEFAC workshop – Piacenza – Oct. 2015


Cultivation, processing and nutritional aspects for pigs and poultry of European protein sources as alternatives for imported soybean products Wageningen University (Van Krimpen et al., 2013)

• European cultivated soybeans seems most

promising long-term alternative for South American

soybeans

– Requires crop yield -> 5 ton/ha

• Peas seems the most promising short-term

alternative

– Plant is very sensitive for pathogens and pests

– Pea protein concentrate -> application in organic diets

• Lucerne/grass has high protein yield/ha

– Nutritional value is low

– Drying requires energy (Carbon footprint)

– Protein extraction?

Van Krimpen et al., 2013: Main conclusions (1)

• Leaf proteins probably potential in long-term

– Cost effective protein extraction technique

– Determination of nutritional value

• Aquatic proteins probably interesting in long-term

(low land use, protein yield/ha)

– Determination of nutritional value

– Energy costs for drying/biorefinery

• Insects probably an alternative in long-term

(low land use, conversion of wastes)

– Need for reducing costs of production

– Legislative aspects (catering waste / manure as feedstock?)

– Social acceptance


• In terms of CFP, potential alternatives

are: – European soybean meal

– Processed animal proteins

– Algae

• No or low land use for: – Aquatic proteins

– Single cell proteins

– Insects

– Meat and bone meal
