英文原文: This opinion was put forward by Dr Martin Scholten, Wageningen University, the Netherlands at the first day of the Provimi Animal Nutrition Seminar 2013 in Barcelona, Spain.
He touched on themes like 'customised nutrition' which could become breed specific – and a development the other way round, how genomics based selection could be feed specific. "Now this sounds futuristic, but I'm sure in five to ten years these fields will come together," Scholten said.
Scholten was one of the key speakers at the first day of the event, which is themed 'Animal Nutrition 2.0'. Like many others he spoke of the challenges for future livestock production in order to meet future demand to animal protein in 2050 – over 9 billion souls as is projected by the United Nations.
Getting there would have to mean that the world needs to produce better and more food but using less raw materials. The challenge for Provimi, part of Cargill, is how to play a role in this.
Scholten put the topic into context by introducing four 'animal perspectives' – or four moments in which animals and feed come together, and where positively influencing can be possible. He touched on feed, the rumen, manure and grass. In each of these perspectives potential of adaptation is key. |
