Feeding non-ruminants organically – new project started at ORC

On 1st October 2011, a new project “Improved contribution of local feed to support 100% organic feed supply to pigs and poultry” (ICOPP) started at ORC. This three year project, funded in the UK by Defra as part of the European CORE2 Eranet programme to support organic research, is led by Aarhus University and has 13 partners across 10 countries. In the UK ORC is working with FAI Farms Ltd just outside Oxford, with Bruce Pearce leading the team. ORC researchers Jo Smith and Becky Nelder attended the kick-off meeting.
