Description:
The proposed project will determine suitability of by-product Ahiflower press cake and/or micronized seed as a beneficial feed amendment for egg layer hens, examining eggshell strength, egg yolk composition, and culinary egg parameters. The project will also introduce this novel feedstock material to CFIA as a research material for possible future novel feed materials approval. This upcycled material has exceptionally high calcium and silica content and an excellent overall balance of omega-3-6-9 fatty acids. Project success could improve sustainability, resilience, and competitiveness for Canadian poultry egg producers while increasing overall margins, productivity, and competitiveness for Natures Crops International.
