To conclude, Feed Bank doesn't discourage livestock raising or resist using livestock products. We're just providing an alternative solution to meet the livestock feed-deficits across the world, in turn, reducing the pressure on croplands. In other words, we are trying to improve the ratio of cropla…

Feed Bank doesn't discourage livestock raising, or resist using livestock products. Nor do we plan to replace the feed patterns of livestock abruptly. We’re just supplementing the feed resources by an alternative non-conventional resource, i.e. processed FVW (fruit and vegetable waste). So over a sp…

This is how we distribute the waste converted feed to livestock farms!

The collected fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) on subsequent processing (now converted) is packed and dispatched as feed, specific to the nutrient requirements of the respective livestock.

This is how we transform waste...

The majority of fruit and vegetable waste like tomato pomace, bottle gourd pomace, citrus pulp, carrot pulp, baby corn husk and forage, cabbage and cauliflower leaves, sarson saag waste and pea pods, pineapple waste and pineapple bran etc. are highly fermentable and perishable, mainly because of hig…

A simple processing feature: Silos.

The Fruit and Vegetable Waste (FVW) collected is highly fermentable and perishable. Therefore, we need to adopt suitable methods to conserve such resources so that these can be fed to the livestock throughout the year.

Our collection strategy for procuring fruit and vegetable waste...

We indulge with the sources of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) generation such as: food processing plants, packaging plants, supermarket shelves, distribution networks, hotels and housing sectors, etc. and arrange for a timely collection strategy from these sources. The collection vans regularly tra…

So science supports us too...fast forward Feed Bank (y)

Is FVW (fruit and vegetable waste) a comparable nutritional supplement/replacement for conventional feed resources...? Taking the case of citrus waste (say, collected from a juice processing plant and processed accordingly), let us see in typical scientific terms, if this is capable to act as a cred…
