“…In contrast, several studies indicated that DDGS should not be included in pig diets at levels above 20%, and that canola meal is not an effective replacement for soybean meal in grower and finisher pig diets [14,15]. It is important to note that these findings may vary depending on the specific source and processing of the DDGS, and canola meal being used [4] [11].…”

“…It is possible to replace conventional feedstuffs in pig diets, given that they are omnivores and are therefore suited to ingest many types of feed. Pigs used to scavenge human food leftovers until farms were developed, and nutrient-dense diets based on cereal grains and high-quality protein were used to maximize lean growth of modern pig breeds [4]. However, the goal when formulating diets for pigs is to optimize profit, not maximize growth [6].…”

“…Recent studies show that modern pig breeds can efficiently utilize diets containing low cost ingredients, such as, agri-industrial co-products [7] , food waste [8] and forage plants [9,10]. SRecycling food waste or agricultural co-products back into the food chain [6], and Ssubstituting conventional feed ingredients with co-products in pig diets that are not in direct competition with human food areis a key strategyies for making pig production more sustainable [4].…”

“…Since 2013 when we first published our feature article in Animal Frontiers about feeding coproducts to pigs ( Zijlstra and Beltranena, 2013 ), research groups around the world have continued to present or publish excellent review articles, book chapters, and research papers on this topic. Drivers a decade ago to feeding coproducts in substitution of grains to pigs included sustainability and its social, environment, and cost components ( Zijlstra and Beltranena, 2019 ). Those components have not changed.…”

With the increase in global human population, people living longer, and relocating from the countryside to urban centres, it is expected that the demand for animal food products will increase. Animal production competes with humans for basic grains. However, humans only consume ~30% of crops directly, therefore animal production is mostly complementary. This overview with a Canadian perspective provides a superficial look at on how we use non-food cereals, oilseeds, pulses and their coproducts and fractions to sustainably convert them into edible protein for human nutrition reducing waste streams. Feeding low-grade grains and coproducts may indeed increase the environmental footprint of animal agriculture. Nonetheless, it is undeniable the role ruminant and monogastric animals play in converting inedible plant material and coproducts into wholesome meat, milk, and eggs. Finding what to feed that is locally grown or sourced, even thought it may be of limited quality and(or) availability, seems a daunting challenge despite that it reduces feed cost and supports the local economy. We should evaluate diets more based on what non-human edible coproducts are included that could become meat, milk, and eggs for human nutrition rather than placing great emphasis on animal performance parameters. Fear of antinutritional factors and mycotoxins on animal performance limits our feed cost advantage. Increased feed and food safety risk is indeed part of getting more out of compromised feedstuffs to reduce waste. Policy changes are required to embrace a circular bioeconomy that would contribute to prevent climate crisis.
