A recent study conducted by farmer-researcher collaborations in the UK, including The Organic Research Centre and Innovative Farmers, has discovered that sprouting wheat and vetch seeds, saving grain tailings, and processing beans can serve as viable alternative nutrient sources for monogastrics, potentially reducing the dependence on imported soya. This research is of particular importance due to the global supply issues leading to an 80% increase in soya prices and concerns about deforestation. The study has identified vetch as a key alternative, with its ability to improve soil structure and nitrogen fixation, despite some toxins that can be mitigated through germination. Other strategies such as heat treatment and dehulling of beans, and reusing grain tailings, have also shown promise in reducing the need for imported feed.

At a time when global supplies of soya are looking increasingly fragile, farmer-led research has found that sprouting wheat and vetch seeds, grain tailings and processed beans have all been found to offer good alternative nutrients for monogastrics, and could be growth within UK farming systems. At present, most of the soya imported into the UK is used to manufacture food and feed livestock, but of these imports, two-thirds were found in 2019 to be from sources with a potential risk of deforestation, according to the UK Roundtable on Sustainable Soya. Current supply chain problems from China and India have this year led soya prices to jump by 80% in the year to June. The conclusions of the 3-year field lab collaboration between farmers and researchers now offers a path towards a system based on regional feed production and sourcing. The farmers have been working with The Organic Research Centre in a field lab in conjunction with Innovative Farmers. The field lab looked at 3 ...
