“…Feed cost per kg body weight gain could be reduced up to 20.45% in comparison to the conventional concentrate based diet. Kumar et al (2016) conducted an experiment on pig at Livestock farm, Adhartal, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Jabalpur for a period of 3 months. A total of 36 Large White Yorkshire crosses were randomly assigned to 4 different groups, with 9 animals in each group.…”

An experiment was done on weaned piglets at Piggery Research Unit of Regional Agricultural Research Station, Tarahara, Sunsari, NARC, during 6 January 2019 to 5 May 2019 for 120 days after adjustment period of seven days. Twenty piglets, after weaning at 4-6 months of age were allocated into four treatments, each with 5 replications by using Completely Randomized Design. Four types of diets were used as treatments. Bakery waste was not incorporated in the control group diet (T1) whereas in the diet of T2, T3 and T4 maize as an ingredient was replaced by 25, 50 and 75% with bakery waste, respectively. Concentrate mixture was provided in adlib amount twice a day and refusal was measured in next morning while body weight gain was measured at 15 days interval. The findings revealed that highest total body weight gain was observed when maize was replaced by bakery waste (50%) (T3).But the total body weight gain was statistically similar (p>0.05) among the treatments group. The average daily gain was also highest when maize as an ingredient was replaced by bakery waste 50% (T3) with the gain of 325 g/day. Total feed intake during experimental period was highest for the same treatment. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of entire (120 days) experimental period was also statically similar (p>0.05) for all treatments (1kg body weight: 2kg feed). The findings thus suggested that replacement of maize as an ingredient by bakery waste in piglet diet could be beneficial if it is replaced by 50% compared to 25% or 75% inclusion. Further in depth research is required to assess the effectiveness of replacing maize and other important ingredients with bakery waste before recommending this practice to the piglet growers.

“…As asserted in the introduction, there is a notable scarcity of research data regarding the inclusion of BM in the rations of post-weaned piglets. Digestibility and the effect of bakery FFPs on growth performance have been mainly determined in growing-finishing pigs [33][34][35][36], reporting conflicting results regarding feed efficacy. However, in most cases, no depression in growth rate of the animals was observed.…”

“…Ojediran et al [47] reported that replacing corn with biscuit dough at a level of 37.5% had a significant effect on the FCR of growing pigs. Similarly, Kumar et al [36] indicated that the percentage of bread waste inclusion in diets should not exceed the level of 50% in order to eliminate the possibilities of FI decrease and gastrointestinal disorders. In light of the available literature and the goal of maintaining optimal animal performance, we chose to use the lowest inclusion rates of BM in our trial.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different levels (15% and 20% w.w−1) of bakery meal (BM) inclusion on growth performance, welfare and behavior indicators in post-weaning piglets. Sixty post-weaning castrated male piglets were selected and divided in 3 feeding treatments: standard post-weaning diet with no BM added (CON), standard post-weaning diet with 15% w.w−1 BM added (BM 15) and standard post-weaning diet with 20% w.w−1 BM added (BM 20). Body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded individually on a weekly basis. Additionally, welfare, quality behavior indicators, wounds and tail-biting incidence were assessed. The supplementation with BM in piglets’ diet had a significant impact on ADG and FCR during certain periods of the trial. BM 15 piglets showed higher ADG and lower FCR in the last week of the experiment compared to CON piglets (1278.57 ± 7.14 g vs. 905.00 ± 47.86 g and 1.69 ± 0.04 g vs. 2.35 ± 0.08 g, respectively). Overall, BM inclusion had no significant effect on performance, quality behavior characteristics and welfare (p > 0.05). The inclusion of BM at either 15% or 20% w.w−1 illustrated no detrimental effects on the overall growth parameters, welfare and behavior indicators for post-weaned piglets.

“…According to the latter, the differences in the chemical composition of BM from 46 different regions of the USA are relatively small and are unlikely to have a major impact on their nutritional value. Previous reports have demonstrated that dietary BM can safely replace up to 50% of maize (when the main ingredients of the diet are maize and soya) in the diet of growing pigs and sows without any adverse effect on their health, yield, and carcass quality [28][29][30][31][32][33][34], while the integration of bakery by-products into animal feeds has also drawn attention in broiler and cow systems, demonstrating promising results [35][36][37].…”

“…The latest reporting exhibited a 5% overall environmental improvement in a Greek pig farm through integrating bakery meal in conventional feedstock by replacing a percentage of cereals and soya beans [41]. In addition to its utilisation as feed in livestock production, alternative methodologies for FFP management encompass various strategies such as composting, anaerobic digestion for biogas generation, incineration, and nutrient recovery in agriculture [32,[42][43][44][45]. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the insufficiency of resources and infrastructure frequently leads to the unfortunate disposal of FFPs in landfills, disregarding their considerable potential as a sustainable feed ingredient [17,29,34,40,46].…”

This study aims to demonstrate an integrated methodology for the valorisation of bakery former food products (FFP) as an ingredient of pig feed diets. The methodology involves: conducting a needs analysis and a full path traceability scheme based on Global Standards 1 (GS1) Organisation (Brussels, Belgium) standards, designing digital tools to support the implementation of the traceability scheme, and assessing the valorisation of FFP and, more specifically, of bakery by-products in bakery meal (BM) production, and its implementation in pig feed diet. BM production comprises various bakery by-products, which were collected, unpacked, grinded, and thermally treated. Physicochemical and microbiological analyses were conducted on BM samples, mainly focusing on nutrient composition, and the presence of aflatoxins, mycotoxins, and pathogenic microorganisms. The BM was then fed to finishing pigs (at an inclusion rate of 20% w/w), in parallel to a control group fed with a conventional pig feed diet. The animals in both dietary groups were evaluated for growth performance, and meat samples were analysed for specific quality parameters and sensory characteristics. The results show that the addition of 20% w/w BM does not significantly affect the growth performance or the meat quality of the pigs. Moreover, a sensory evaluation revealed minor differences in the sensory characteristics of the meat samples, denoting that the BM addition does not seem to dwindle the final meat product.
