“…According to two recent studies, that used LCA methodology to compare the environmental impacts of soybean meal against various alternative protein meals for salmon [39] and broiler feed [7], yeast-based SCP is considered to be more environment-friendly compared to imported vegetable protein (e.g., soybean meal). Couture et al [39] assessed the environmental impact of salmon feeds formulated and used in a salmon farm located in Norway.…”

“…Another point worth mentioning is that Tallentire et al [7] considered that the inclusion of the novel ingredients did not affect the bird growth rate or its health conditions. However, results from the inclusion of Yarrowia lipolytica in other productive bird diets (e.g., turkey hens) have shown that the incorporation of dry yeast in a dose of 3% to 6%, stimulates the body's immune defense mechanisms [41].…”

Proteins are essential constituents of animal feeds, which comprise mainly vegetable protein (e.g., soybean meal), which is produced and transported globally. The decoupling of protein-production and livestock-growth areas results in protein deficiencies in certain parts of the world, and in significant environmental stress. Alternative, more sustainable protein feeds are necessary to meet the increasing needs, and to decrease the environmental footprint of animal products. Yeast Single Cell Proteins (SCP), produced locally using various agro-industrial by-product streams, have significant potential as alternative animal feed protein. Particularly, Yarrowia lipolytica, an oleaginous, non-pathogenic microorganism has been characterized as a “workhorse” in biotechnological studies, drawing the attention of many researchers. The present review summarizes available resources on critical issues concerning the applicability and commercialization of Yarrowia lipolytica as an environment-friendly protein source for animal feed. It discusses the sustainability of the yeast SCP production process, it presents the recent advances concerning Yarrowia lipolytica cultivation on low-cost agro-industrial by-products, and it stresses the effects on the health and welfare of productive animals due to the inclusion of Yarrowia lipolytica in their diet. The data presented in this study should facilitate relative research advancement and the commercialization of Yarrowia lipolytica’s use as an alternative protein source/supplement for animal feeds.

“…The phytochemical profile of microalgae closely resembles pollen (Figure 1), making it an attractive feed source to supplement honey bee nutrition. Rapid growth rates and biomass production of microalgae enables them to surpass current protein feed resources (such as soy) on an area basis using nonarable land, lessening some environmental burdens of modern agriculture (Lamminen, Halmemies‐Beauchet‐Filleau, Kokkonen, Jaakkola, & Vanhatalo, 2019; Tallentire, Mackenzie, & Kyriazakis, 2018). This review introduces the nutritional value and functional properties of microalgae, extrapolating to central aspects of honey bee nutritional physiology, and concludes by discussing the potential of microalgae to sustainably provision honey bee colonies on an agricultural scale.…”

Managed honey bee colony losses are attributed to a number of interacting stressors, but many lines of evidence point to malnutrition as a primary factor. Commercial beekeepers have become increasingly reliant on artificial pollen substitute diets to nourish colonies during periods of forage scarcity and to bolster colony size before pollination services. These artificial diets may be deficient in essential macronutrients (proteins, lipids, prebiotic fibers), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals), and antioxidants. Therefore, improving the efficacy of pollen substitutes can be considered vital to modern beekeeping. Microalgae are prolific sources of plant‐based nutrition with many species exhibiting biochemical profiles that are comparable to natural pollen. This emerging feed source has been employed in a variety of organisms, including limited applications in honey bees. Herein, I introduce the nutritional value and functional properties of microalgae, extrapolating to central aspects of honey bee physiology and health. To conclude, I discuss the potential of microalgae‐based feeds to sustainably provision managed colonies on an agricultural scale.

“…Furthermore, the pigs could exploit about 50% forage-based protein [14] or extract up to 25% of the total energy from fermentation products [15]. Thus, it is very helpful to improve the environment-friendly performances when crude fiber or something similar added in the diet during the fattening period [16,17]. In theory, maize silage could replace a large part of the maize used as feed, as a more effective means of supplying nutrients to the animals.…”

The structure of the pig-raising sector in China is changing towards large-scale and intensive systems or ecological pig-raising systems (EPRSs). To choose the best EPRS with high economic benefits and with low environmental consequences, this study combined economic analysis and emergy analysis methods to evaluate several EPRSs. Having a large percentage of maize silage in the feed (max 40%) to replace some maize increased the economic benefit and sustainability of the EPRS and decreased the pressure on the environment. The raising system that consisted of Tuhe black pigs fed feed containing maize silage (EPRS C) performed especially well. The yield-based economic profit and area-based economic profit of EPRS C increased by 37%–54% and 3%–17%, respectively, compared to those of the three-breed crossbred pig-raising systems with or without maize silage added to the feed (EPRS A and EPRS B). Its unit emergy value and emergy loading ratio were 9–22% and 10–15% lower, respectively, than those of EPRS A and EPRS B. Furthermore, its emergy yield ratio and emergy sustainability index were about 2% and 14%–19% higher, respectively, than those of EPRS A and EPRS B. To some extent, the results from EPRS C give some guidelines on improving the performance of the ecological pig-raising sector in China. Moreover, using a high concentration of maize silage in the feed and an optimal local pig type may be beneficial for the sustainability of the ecological pig-raising sector in China.
