Feedipedia.org is an open access information system on animal feed resources that provides information on nature, occurrence, chemical composition, nutritional value and safe use of nearly 1400 worldwide livestock feeds. It is managed jointly by Inra, Cirad, Afz and Fao.
The main objective of Feedipedia is to provide extension and development workers, planners, project formulators, livestock farmers, science managers, policy makers, students and researchers with the latest scientific information to help them identify, characterize and properly use feed resources to sustainably develop the livestock sector.
Feeds datasheets contain the following information: feed names, including vernacular and scientific names; description of the plants or plant parts/products used as feed; feeding recommendations for the main livestock species (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, poultry, pigs, rabbits, horses, fish and crustaceans); tables of composition and nutritive value; illustrations, including photos and processing charts; distribution and basic agronomic information; forage management; processes for improving nutritional value; potential constraints such as presence of anti-nutritional and toxic factors; environmental impact of the production and use of feeds.
