Integrating diverse technologies and feed sources to create sustainable poultry farming
In short: A comprehensive review of the poultry industry found that achieving sustainability requires a multi-pronged approach. Researchers identified that combining genetic improvements, precision technologies, and innovative feed sources—such as insect proteins and food waste—can help minimize environmental impacts while maintaining economic feasibility and animal welfare.
The study highlights how organic farming and waste management strategies can reduce ecological footprints and improve animal health. It also explores the potential of holistic farming systems to enhance nutrient cycling and resource efficiency in a way that supports climate-smart agriculture.
This review synthesizes existing research rather than conducting new experiments. A primary limitation is that it identifies systemic barriers like financial constraints and knowledge gaps without providing specific, localized solutions for every region.
Why it matters: Sustainable farming requires a shift toward diverse feed sources and integrated technologies to balance production with environmental health.
