Looking for opportunities from second generation bio-fuel technologies to upgrade lignocellulosic
biomass for livestock feed
Michael Blümmel International Livestock Research Institute
Global Animal Nutrition ConferenceBengalaru, India 20-22 April 2014
Topics Part 1
Importance of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB)as a global natural resource
Importance of LCB as livestock feed resources
What differences in LCB fodder traits matter and why
3
Why invest in lignocellulosic biomass (LCB)
Most abundant renewable biomass on earth
Total annual production of about 10-50 billion metric tons (Sanchez and Cardena 2008)
About 4 billion tons consist of crop residues, the direct and widely available byproduct of crop production
(summarized from NIANP, 2005 and Ramachandra et al., 2007)

Conclusion Part 1
Importance of ligno cellulosic biomass (LCB) particularly from crop residues as fodder resource is still increasing
Overall monetary value of grain to crop residue (food to feed/fodder?) is getting narrower
“Intuitively” small differences in crop reside fodder quality can have large effects on
livestock productivity
Accumulative effect of higher ME concentration plus higher voluntary feed intake
Topics Part 2
Pathways in 2nd generation biofuel technologies of common interest to renewable energy researchers and animal nutritionists
Mechanical, chemical, physical and biologicalpre-treatment approaches
Pilot testing of one spin-off technology forupgrading fodder value of LCB

Preliminary findings: intake in sheep about 45% increased
Conclusion Part 2
Past and ongoing investment into 2nd generation bio- fuel technologies are enormous compared to classical investment into feed research
Search for spin-off technologies almost mandatory, common interest at least to glucose level
More systematic exploration required extending to monogastric nutrition
Obviously economics will be more decisive than biology
However, one percent unit increase in digestibility is associated with at least 5% increase in livestock productivity)
