Alge- og ærteprotein kan være et godt alternativ til soja ved fodring af økologiske kyllinger
Full text linkForeløbige resultater fra projekt ProLocal samt præsentationer i artikler, videoer og på en workshop viser, at alge- og ærteprotein kan være et lovende alternativ til soja i foder til økologiske kyllinger. Forsøg peger på, at klimaaftrykket kan reduceres med mere end 20 %, samtidig med at både dyrevelfærd, kødkvalitet og sensoriske egenskaber bevares eller forbedres. Mikroalger har et højt indhold af methionin og kan dyrkes lokalt, hvilket gør dem til et særligt bæredygtigt proteinalternativ
Øget biodiversitet hos frilandsgrise
No full textAarhus Universitet er sammen med Innovationscenter for Økologisk Landbrug, Risbjerg Landbrug og Hestbjerg Økologi i gang med at undersøge, hvordan grise på friland påvirker biodiversiteten. Der er fokus på at øge biodiversiteten i grisemarker med træer samt udlæg med mange forskellige urter i grisefoldene. Udlægget skal både kunne fungere som et fodersupplement til grisene og samtidig skabe flere levesteder og fødekilder for insekter og andre dyr
Undersøgelse af betydningen af alge- og ærteprotein for produktivitet og dyrevelfærd – Rapport med udgangspunkt i praktiske forsøg
Full text linkDette forsøg er en del af ProLocAL projektet, som undersøgte alge- og ærteprotein som mulige erstatninger for sojaprotein til økologiske slagtekyllinger. Et kontrolleret forsøg blev gennemført med tre forskellige foderblandinger: (1) Kontrol med soja som primær proteinkilde, (2) Mikroalgen Scenedesmus sp. og ærteprotein som erstatning for sojaprotein, og (3) Ærteprotein som erstatning for sojaprotein. Kyllingernes produktivitet og dyrevelfærd blev målt i forsøgsperioden ud fra foderoptagelse, tilvækst, levende vægt, foderudnyttelse, dødelighed, trædepude- og fjerdragt tilstand. Sammenligning af kontrol- og forsøgsgrupper viste, at alge-ærtegruppen havde øget tilvækst i slutperioden (p < 0,001) sammenlignet med kontrollen. Den højeste gennemsnitlige slutvægt på 1801,2 g blev opnået af alge-ærtegruppen. Alge-ærtegruppen havde en forbedring i foderudnyttelsen (FCR) på 4,84 % for hele vækstperioden og på 6,28 % for dag 24 til 47, hvor forsøgsfoderet blev anvendt. Ærtegruppen en forbedring i FCR på 4,62 % i perioden hvor de fik forsøgsfoder (dag 24 til 47). Forsøgsfoderet påvirkede ikke slagtekyllingernes velfærd negativt baseret på dødelighed, trædepuder og fjerdragt, hvilket tydede på potentielle sundhedsmæssige fordele ved forsøgsfoderet. Klimapåvirkningen syntes at være reduceret ved brug af alge-ærteprotein i foderet sammenlignet med kontrollen, når effekten af direct Land Use Change (dLUC) blev medregnet. Dog steg klimapåvirkningen, når dLUC blev udeladt. Slagtekyllingerne havde en god produktivitet og velfærden blev ikke påvirket negativt, og det var muligt at sænke klimaaftrykket. Dette indikerer, at erstatning af sojaprotein med lokalt produceret alge- og ærteprotein har potentiale for økologiske slagtekyllinger, da produktiviteten og velfærden viste en tendens til forbedring
Module 21 – Using the EU Router Database (RDB) to enlarge organic seed supply in national databases
No full textThis self-paced training is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to effectively use the relaunched RDB to enlarge the organic PRM supply in national databases.
This course covers all key functionalities, including managing suppliers and their offers in national databases via the RDB, while ensuring compliance with EU and national requirements.
The course provides flexibility through written guides, FAQs and step-by-step instructional videos.
The relaunched RDB is expected to go live in mid-January 2026. Accordingly, the training material will be adapted to reflect the new functionalities
Ancient wheats (Triticum aestivum) variety trials under organic management from 2018 to 2023
No full textThis database originates from field trials conducted between 2017 and 2023 by CREABIO at the La Hourre experimental site (southwestern France) and was compiled by ITAB. The objective of these trials was to assess the agronomic performance of soft wheat (Triticum aestivum) landraces and their response to fertilization under organic management. A total of 20 landraces were evaluated, with a modern commercial cultivar included as a reference. Fertilization was applied at 5 levels, ranging from 0 to 100 units of nitrogen per hectare. The trials were implemented using a split-plot design with 3 replicates.
The database includes information on:
- Field operations: sowing, fertilization, weeding, and harvesting
- Yield performance: grain yield, protein content, and specific weight
- Yield components: plants density (plants/m²), ears density (ears/m²), grains density (grains/m ²) and ITCF lodging score
- Growth monitoring: early and late growth habit, vegetative and reproductive phase vigour and height at maturity
- Disease susceptibility to several pathogens: Zymoseptoria tritici (Mycosphaerella graminicola), Puccinia striiformis (P. glumarum), and Puccinia recondita.
In addition, the database includes daily meteorological data (minimum, maximum, mean temperature and precipitation) recorded at the on-site weather station throughout the trial period, along with several soil descriptors.
This dataset is part of the database compiled as an outcome of Work Area 1 in project OrganicYieldsUP. Variable definitions can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15276082
ID abbreviations:
AW: Ancient wheat
FERT-N: nitrogen fertilization
CW: common wheat
xxU: nitrogen fertilization units
Example in « FERT-N_83U » 83U correspond to 83 nitrogen units

Ambrogio Costanzo organic wheat - Field scale functional agrobiodiversity in organic wheat: Effects on weed reduction, disease susceptibility and yield.
No full textDeployment of diversity at the species and at the genetic levels can improve the ability of crops to withstand a wide range of biotic and abiotic stressors in organic and low-input cropping systems, where the response to stresses through external input is limited or restricted in comparison with conventional systems. Although there are several strategies to use agrobiodiversity in wheat-based systems, their implementation is limited by the lack of a clear relationship between agrobiodiversity and provision of key agroecosystem services. In a three-year field trial in Central Italy we compared common wheat Italian and Hungarian pure lines, Italian old cultivars and Hungarian and British Composite Cross Populations (CCPs), grown with or without a contemporarily sown Subterranean clover living mulch. We aimed at linking crop performance, in terms of yield, weed reduction and disease susceptibility, to three categories of functional diversity: (1) functional identity, represented by the identifying traits of cultivars, (2) functional diversity, represented by the genetic heterogeneity of wheat crop population, and (3) functional composition, represented by the co-presence of wheat and the living mulch. Concerning cultivars, effects of functional identity were predominant for weed reduction and grain yield. Old cultivars tended to better suppress weeds but to be less yielding. Italian cultivars were more advantaged than cultivars of foreign origin, thanks to a better matching of their growth cycle into local climate. Functional diversity effects on yield and weed reduction were confounded with identity effects, given that all the CCPs were of foreign origin. In fact, the performance of CCPs was generally aligned with a central-European pure line. However, differences in yield components suggest that CCPs can evolve peculiar yield formation strategies. Moreover, CCPs were less susceptible than pure lines to foliar diseases. For functional composition, the living mulch was able to reduce dicotyledonous weed abundance and weed biomass without reducing wheat yield unless wheat was poorly established. Despite the strong morphological and phenological differences among the tested cultivars, no interactions were found between cultivar and living mulch presence, suggesting that, in conditions similar to our experiments, there is room to freely combine elements of crop diversity. Crop diversification strategies in wheat should be further explored and optimized, especially by constituting CCPs from locally adapted germplasms and by improving the feasibility and efficacy of legume living mulches
