Testing the effect of blue mussel ensilage as a novel cost-efficient protein feed source for Atlantic salmon feed. Fermentation of novel raw materials for fish feed is a new practice with little prior experience of direct relevance to aquaculture and fish farming. In Trial A, an alternative marin...

Exercise enhances physical performance and reduces the risk of many disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and cancer. Exercise characteristically incites an inflammatory response, notably in skeletal muscles. While some effector mechanisms have been identified, regul...

Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. However, it is not always clear how host genotype and microbiota interact to affect phenotype. We applied a hologenomic approach to explore how host-microbiota interactions shape lifetime growth and parasite infection in f...

Bibenzyls are a specialized metabolite class found throughout the plant kingdom. One of the most prolific producers of bibenzyls are liverworts, specifically plants of the Radula genera. These plants possess an incredible diversity of bibenzyls, prenylated bibenzyls and a few (bis)bibenz...

Chicken farming is critical for future food security, yet there is still a need for improving animal welfare and optimised feeding strategies. HoloFood will explore the interaction and impact of the microbiome together with the host (animal) in response to different feeding strategies already imp...

An experimental trial was conducted on juvenile farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the framework of the HoloFood project, which aims to test the effect of novel sustainable feed additives in the feed of farmed salmon. Trial B blue mussel was used as a novel sustainable protein feed source in...

Testing the effect of seaweed as a novel cost-efficient feed source for Atlantic salmon feed. Fermentation of novel raw materials for fish feed is a new practice with little prior experience of direct relevance to aquaculture and fish farming. In Trial D, an alternative marine compound is include...
