“…Using low-cost swill as we know it today, especially in pig farms around urban areas, the argument goes, might reduce production costs significantly [33]. However, separation or/and processing steps will be required to avoid public health issues [74], which might increase, in their turn, food production and consumption costs.…”

“…The main reason why feeding swill is not allowed in the EU is the risk of disease transmission for animals and humans (e.g., foot and mouth disease, African swine fever, classical swine fever, salmonellosis, toxoplasmosis, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy) [74]. Most probably, the foot and mouth disease episode started in 2002 in the UK by feeding illegal uncooked food to pigs [33].…”

“…In The Netherlands, assuming (unrealistically) total collection, approximately 1.5% of compound feed produced could be replaced by food waste. Besides, a change in the regulatory framework is still required and afterwards, separation or/and processing steps will be essential to avoid public health issues [33,74].…”

A Circularity Evaluation of New Feed Categories in The Netherlands—Squaring the Circle: A Review

The concept of circularity is currently proposed to address key sustainability issues affecting and affected by livestock production. Through a desk study, this paper evaluates some feed sources that are being developed in The Netherlands as an alternative to current feeds, namely food waste; seaweed; and localized production and alternative plant-based feed sources. These feed categories are evaluated according to four circularity criteria. The first two criteria concern standard circularity principles aimed at both stopping and preventing environmental damage as well as a focus on natural resources use efficiency: (1) Safeguard the health of ecosystems and (2) avoid the production of unnecessary products and use/recycle biomass effectively, as well as evaluating possible food–feed competition. In addition, two ‘people’ and ‘animal’ centred principles have been integrated: (3) fairness and accessibility and (4) animal health and wellbeing. The article concludes that people and animal centred principles are key to thinking of, developing, implementing, and evaluating circularity initiatives. Moreover, the article suggests that categories such as the local production of soya (approx. 132 ha) or seaweed (approx. 10–15 ha) are as yet irrelevant regarding production volumes within the Dutch context. However, some feed sources such as seaweed, insects, livestock leftovers produced at farms and abattoirs, and food waste might strengthen the transition towards more circular and sustainable practices.

“…These variables are key in the strategic aspects to be considered in the mixed systems of cereal and dairy sheep with dry climate in the center of Spain showing great interactions in between crops and livestock production and, the knowledge of synergies and tradeoffs are essential for the improvement of the system [4,15,25,66]. Success of technological adoption are the result of knowing the reason for being and the objectives of the smallholders, and a deep knowledge of the system, the synergies and trade-offs among different activities [5,9,11,29,34,59,63]. The third factor, that we name ecoefficiency, was related to the productive organization, with the efficient and sustainable use of the whole system, where once addressed the immediate problems becomes a more complete strategic planning [8,14,15,52].…”

“…It is difficult to continue looking for improvements "intensification way"; perhaps the production model should be redesigned, and innovations identified that facilitate production using the system's own resources and place production in zone of increasing returns [5,8,9]. The change from an intensive production model towards another more sustainable, with an efficient management of local resources of low cost, within a circular economy based on reduce, reuse, recycle principle (referred to as the 3-R principle) [10,11] . In this sense, the use of by-products and agro-industrial waste in animal feed reduces the risk of environmental pollution through the recycling of this waste.…”

Familiar mixed dairy sheep farm is the most widespread system in the Mediterranean basin, in Latin America and in developing countries (85%). There is a strong lack of technological adoption in packages of feeding and land use in small-scale farms. To increase competitiveness, it would be of great interest to deepen the knowledge of how innovation was selected, adopted, and spread. The objective of this research was to select strategic feeding and land use technologies in familiar mixed dairy sheep systems and later assess dairy sheep farms in Spain. This objective was assessed by combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In the first stage, with the aim to identify and select the appropriate technologies, a panel of 107 experts in dairy sheep production was used. A questionnaire was applied to all of them with successive rounds using Delphi methodology. Later, these technologies were grouped by principal components analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). In a second stage the technological results from a random sample of 157 farms in the Center of Spain were collected. The technologies selected were linked to the technological adoption level of the farms in Castilla la Mancha by a multiple regression model. Ten technologies were selected by the 107 experts. Four factors were retained by PCA that explained at 67.11% of variance. The first factor is related to feeding strategies, the second to land use for livestock production, the third to efficient management of land resources or ecoefficiency and the fourth to by-products use. The expert evaluation was grouped in three clusters using the Ward’s method and the squared Euclidean distance measure, where the second showed higher values in the adoption level of each technology. The multiple regression model explained the relationship between the technologies and the technological level of the farms (R2 73.53%). The five technologies selected were: use of unifeed (1), supplemental feeding (5), grazing (6), raw materials production (7) and sustainable use of water and soil (10). These ten technologies identified can be directly extended to small-scale dairy farms from other countries in the Mediterranean basin and Latin America. This technological selection was supported from the broad and diverse panel of experts used. Besides, five technologies identified by the quantitative model will be able to be taken into account for the development of public innovation policies. They are direct technologies and easy to apply on the farm and seeking increased viability through innovation vs. intensification.
