Technical Name Improving Chicken Production Efficiency: "Reducing Carbon Footprint
Project Operator National Chiayi University
Project Host 陳國隆
Summary
Our team developed functional vegan wet fermentation (FPA) and dry additive (FPB) products using by-products to produce high surfactin content with antimicrobial activity. In broiler feed, FPA fully replaces fishmeal, and FPB replaces antibiotics, enhancing growth and economic benefits. This patented, Q1-published technology reduces carbon emissions and reuses waste, demonstrating a safe, efficient, and sustainable green circular agriculture model.
Scientific Breakthrough
Our team developed rapid, scalable wet fermentation (FPA) and dry additive (FPB) products that fully replace fishmeal and antibiotics in broiler diets with vegan formulas. This improves growth and profits while reducing feed waste, energy use, and carbon emissions, enabling antibiotic-free feeding. The technology also enhances digestion and nutrient absorption, improving overall production. It is now transferred for mass production and practical use.
Industrial Applicability
This technology uses vegetarian raw materials to challenge animal-based formulas, which can reduce production costs and improve economic profits. It processes soybean hulls, bran, harvest mushroom bags, etc., which can increase the added value of feed, reduce costs and carbon emissions, and promote resource recycling. The products can be applied to other monogastric animals and also be used in agriculture, biotechnology, medicine, and food fields.
