and
Measurement Joint Research Centre in Geel,
Belgium, is offering a position for a trainee in
the feed traceability group.
Organic fertilisers and soil improvers (OF/SI)
are materials of animal origin used to improve
plant nutrition and physical and chemical
properties of soils. In order to exclude the use
of OF/SI for feeding of farmed animals,
Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 includes the
obligation to mix OF/SI with a component
which renders OF/SI unpalatable to farmed
animals.
The aim of the project is to review the
scientific literature with the aim of identifying
potential mixing components which would
exclude the unauthorised use OF/SI for feeding
ruminants while maintaining their agronomic
and fertilising characteristics.
