After four years of joint work, an international consortium of 14 partners has shown <strong>that by-products from grapes, oranges and olives can be transformed into sustainable, locally sourced (KM0) feeds<\/strong>, strengthening circular economy practices in the Mediterranean livestock sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coordinated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azti.es\/en\/\">AZTI<\/a> technology centre, the <a href=\"https:\/\/newfeed-prima.eu\/\">NEWFEED<\/a> project has developed and validated these new local ingredients for ruminants and poultry. Through innovative processing and trials carried out both in the lab and on farms, <strong>the digestibility and nutritional profile <\/strong>of grape stems, orange peels and olive cake<strong> have been improved<\/strong>, enabling their inclusion in animal diets without compromising animal health or product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsing food-industry by-products as secondary feeds will transform livestock production into a more sustainable system, capable of meeting growing demand for meat, dairy and eggs across the Mediterranean,\u201d says David San Martin, AZTI expert in food sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/economia-circular-sector-agroganadero.jpg\" alt=\"economia-circular-sector-agroganadero\" class=\"wp-image-42560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/economia-circular-sector-agroganadero.jpg 800w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/economia-circular-sector-agroganadero-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/economia-circular-sector-agroganadero-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/economia-circular-sector-agroganadero-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Three circular value chains<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Working alongside agri-food companies and research centres, the consortium validated three value chains demonstrating how circular economy models can lower waste management and input costs while paving the way for innovative products such as functional supplements or enriched, sustainable feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NEWFEED\u2019s business opportunities were designed in three different Mediterranean regions: Spain, Greece and Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Spain, coordinated by AZTI, the initiative involved the NEIKER technology centre, technology provider RIERA NADEU and Bodegas Baigorri to validate the use of grape stems as a feed ingredient for sheep and dairy cattle. In Greece, efforts focused on converting orange peel into protein for dairy sheep. In Egypt, olive cake was transformed into feed for broiler chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach context presents different technical, economic and regulatory conditions. Successful future rollout will therefore require adapting solutions to local capabilities, fostering collaboration with key stakeholders, and providing decision-support tools such as methodological guides or digital platforms,\u201d the AZTI expert adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funded by the EU\u2019s PRIMA programme with more than \u20ac2 million, NEWFEED brought together 14 partners from four Mediterranean countries, including Spain\u2019s Confederation of Compound Feed Manufacturers (CESFAC), the \u00c1lava Farmers\u2019 Union (UAGA), Bodegas Baigorri and Riera Nadeu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AZTI has coordinated the European project NEWFEED, bringing together 14 organisations from Spain, Greece and Egypt to transform local agri-food by-products into sustainable animal feed.
