REACT-FIRST: Reduced Emission Aquaculture & Chicken Trial For Integrated, Responsible and Sustainable Transformation of CO2 into animal feed

2020-10-01 to 2024-01-31
Collaborative R&D
The world's population will reach 10 billion people by 2050\. By this point, the demand for animal-based products will have doubled, yet we currently struggle to feed the animals we eat in a sustainable fashion today. Based on Deep Branch Biotechnology's proprietary CO2-to-protein process, the REACT-FIRST consortium will develop feeds with 65-75% smaller carbon footprints, with no requirements for arable land and minimal water usage. By utilising carbon dioxide from Drax Power's Selby (Yorkshire) biomass power station, Deep Branch generate Proton, a protein powder optimised for aquaculture and poultry diets. By working with BioMar and AB Agri, leading in feed production in these respective markets, the consortium will develop Proton-based feeds that will be validated by world-class research facilities at the University of Sterling's Institute of Aquaculture and Nottingham Trent University's Poultry Research Unit. The project will be guided by the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre and Sainsbury's, offering a full value chain network for aquaculture and poultry, ensuring outcomes are aligned with industry needs. The University of Nottingham's Synthetic Biology Research Centre will enable Deep Branch's process to be further optimised in a non-GMO fashion, whilst the University of Edinburgh's Innogen Institute will assess the full sustainability impact of the project and whilst ensuring responsible innovation.

Optimisation and implementation of sterile triploid salmon in Scotland

The production and farming of triploid salmon, which are reproductively sterile, could be a highly beneficial culture option to industry to help prevent potential interbreeding between farmed escapees and wild salmon populations, thus allowing sustainable and environmentally sound aquaculture to be practiced whilst maintaining a food product of high nutritional quality and health status beneficial to the human diet. However, although triploid salmon can be easily produced, significant problems during culture have prevented the adoption of this technology within the farming sector.The proposed research seeks to overcome welfare concerns and production bottlenecks associated with the farming of reproductively sterile triploid Atlantic salmon in order to reduce the environmental impact and increase the sustainability of the aquaculture industry in the UK.

Development of protein-rich and starch-rich fractions from faba beans for salmon and terrestrial animal production respectively.

171,600
2012-01-01 to 2016-06-30
Collaborative R&D
UK production of salmon, pigs and poultry is over-reliant on imported soy protein which has significant sustainability and supply concerns. Using air classification (AC) of UK grown faba beans we will develop two new products to partially replace imported soy. AC is a simple, low cost process requiring no addition of water, solvents or heating and will be used to produce bean protein concentrate (BPC, 56% protein and 5% starch) for use in salmon feeds and bean starch concentrate (BSC, 54% starch and 18% protein) for use in pig and poultry feeds. Dietary studies will assess the scope to replace soy by these products in the three animal species described. Bean varieties with improved qualities (higher protein, lower anti nutritional factors, and traits transferred into winter varieties) will be developed to further enhance the economic value of the process.
