What about the egg quality of this stock? Is there changes of white and yolk composition?
Has there been a change in the smell of eggs or the color of the whites or the color of the yolk?
Has there been a change in the behavior of chickens and the occurrence of pecking cases?

Thank you.

Talaat Mostafa El-Sheikh Food Recycle Ltd engaged the University of New England and the Poultry Hub to undertake the Food Waste to Poultry Feed Trial research for/on layer hens. This is a Biosecurity safe Globally Patented Process and the trial showed that egg weight and quality was similar to that of the commercial (control) diet however the 100% Food Waste diet outperformed the commercial diet for the FCR. Please find FYI The University of New England Poultry Feed Trial Video Link. https://vimeo.com/524040494/cb5b1576f1 My email is norm@normboyleconsulting.com.au Thanks. Norm.

Dr Maikano M Ari. Food Recycle Ltd is an Australian Company with Global Patented Technology for the conversion of Commercial Food Waste into a Biosecurity safe Poultry or Aquaculture Feed. During the University of New England Poultry Feed Trial on layer hens the 100% formulated Food Waste Feed outperformed the commercial feed for FCR while delivering similar egg size and quality. For the Trial on Australian Farmed Barramundi (fish) a 70.4% food waste feed formula grew bigger fish than those on the commercial diet. Thanks. Norm.
