Unlocking Sustainability: The Rise of Upcycled Animal Feed Market

The upcycled animal feed market is poised to revolutionize the way we approach animal nutrition, offering a sustainable solution to the challenges faced by the animal feed industry. With the global sustainable animal feed market projected to reach US$ 58.03 Billion by 2030, this trend is expected to have a significant impact on the industry's growth and development.

Challenges and Opportunities

The upcycled animal feed industry faces several challenges, including the rising cost of animal feed, the absence of regulations and standards associated with feed sustainability, and the scarcity of knowledge related to animal sustainability. However, upcycling food waste to animal feed presents an opportunity to provide a non-competing, locally-based nutritional resource with a low environmental impact. This approach can significantly contribute to achieving food security and sustainability.

Market Growth and Trends

The global sustainable animal feed market is valued at US$ 10.57 Billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2% during the forecast period of 2022-2030. The market is driven by several factors, including the surging demands for animal products, growing animal health consciousness among consumers, changing feed preferences by pet owners, high demand from livestock animal segments, increasing awareness regarding the health benefits of algae-based ingredients in animal feed, adoption of new science and technologies, and growing environmental safety concerns such as the carbon footprint of animal products.

Regional Analysis

Geographically, Europe and Asia Pacific regions are expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the rising awareness among pet owners and livestock owners regarding the health benefits of animal proteins and the growing demand for animal feed. The North America upcycled ingredients market accounts for the largest market share, driven by an increasing demand for organic products and the presence of several key players in the upcycled ingredient market.

Benefits and Future Outlook

Upcycled animal feed offers several benefits, including reduced environmental impact, lower costs, and improved animal health. The industry's focus on fulfilling user demand for security and resilience by increasing new developments in feed additives and supplements in animal nutrition during manufacturing of animal feed is expected to drive growth. The future of animal feed is likely to be shaped by advances in raw materials, potentially changing the overall approach to feed formulation.

Conclusion

The upcycled animal feed market presents a significant opportunity for the animal feed industry to transition towards a more sustainable future. With its potential to reduce environmental impact, lower costs, and improve animal health, this trend is expected to have a lasting impact on the industry's growth and development. As the market continues to evolve, it is essential to address the challenges and opportunities presented by upcycling food waste to animal feed, ensuring a sustainable and resilient future for the industry.

cw: sexually explicit content / blood / relatively light sadomasochism / age + experience gap (reader is older + more experienced) / sub!choso / vampires 🧛‍♀️ / sex and violence as two sides of the same coin /

choso kamo is 160 years old when he meets you.

in those years of walking the earth, undead, he believes he’s embraced his vampirism as much as he possibly can. the broiling self-hatred he had once found solace in has reduced to a simmer, strongest in those moments of blood and guts and weakening heartbeats; and although he often avoids crowds, and companionship, and light, he no longer believes himself to be a slave of his own nature.

to be true — in the grand scheme of immortality, of vampirism — he isn’t anywhere close to the level of control he’d wish to have. often, when indulging yuji’s desire to enjoy the world as he did before his death — boardwalks and arcades and cotton candy — he feels his canines aching in his gums, stretching until they dimple against his bottom lip.

it’s not comfortable. it’s not confident. but even despite the growing aches, he’s no longer cowering in alleyways; no longer drinking from poor stray cats and garbage-chewing rats to momentarily satiate that ever-growing, gnawing hunger. he has some sense of control—

“oh, you baby-bats. so adorable.”

control which he now flounders to grab.

a sharp, inky black nail scrapes up the column of his neck — he can’t help but arch into it, head tilting back until his wide, pupil-blown eyes find the ceiling, with its intricate coving and obsidian chandeliers. the music from the main hall is nothing but a buzzing in the back of his head; thoughts of his friends’ whereabouts, an afterthought. your fingernail crowds the underneath of his jaw and stops at where his pulse point would have thrummed, would he have been alive.

you’re a demon. a devil. a she-beast. a succubus. any horrid, terrible name he could call you, he will — dressed in blacks and burgundies and gold older than him, your lips painted an ox-blood red and your eyes as sharp and dark as any polished knife. in your hands he is small. weak. mortal.

“satoru usually keeps his strays away, after last time,” you say, pouting now, though it’s a crude approximation of sadness — even now, your eyes glint with devilment. “so mean, when he knows i have a weak spot for bats like you.”

that wretched finger stretches up; pokes at his bottom lip, scrapes against the fangs that had — embarrassingly — extended from his gums at the simple weight of you on top of him.

“look at that,” you coo, and your grin is something unsettling, something that curdles in the pit of his stomach and heats between his legs. “excited, pup?”

his answering breath comes ragged, and it’s always more embarrassing than it was when he was human. his heart doesn’t work, his lungs do not work, and he has no need to breathe — in fact, he lost the reflex to do so around 92 years ago — but his brain is scrambled, it seems, wilted neurons confusing signals from almost two centuries ago. “i’m — ahem — i’m okay, duchess.”

“how sweet. you don’t have to call me by my title, you know. my name will do just fine.” at his silence, you push yourself up from where you’d been laying low against his chest — looking far too excited when you say: “unless, of course, you like it.”

his hands tremble at his side. he can’t remember the last time he’s indulged in — in debauchery. the last time someone’s made him feel like they’re holding his heart in their hands. over the past hundred-odd years, he’s avoided it like the plague, and for good reason — most vampires aren’t known for their commitment, let’s just say. and now you’re on top of him looking like every sin he’s tried to avoid, and he’s straining so hard in his pants he fears he’ll cum before you even hint at removing a single article of clothing.

you press yourself flush again, nosing at his neck. he knows, for the first time in his long life, what it feels like to be prey. is this what his victims had felt when he ripped into their throats, young and inexperienced and bloodthirsty? did their vulnerability sit like a stone in their throats?

a groan comes from you, suddenly, and your tongue darts out to lave against his skin. choso’s answering moan is more of a whimper, broken and weak in his mouth, but you don’t seem to notice — or care. he flexes his glutes in an effort to stop himself from rutting up against you — not only would it be embarrassing, desperate, but it would be rude. this is your house, after all. your soirée. your gilded halls and bedazzled walls. your silk sheets against his back. your satin skirt bunched around your waist.

“tell me, pup,” you say, and he fights the instinctual reflex to shiver at the brush of your lips against his skin, “have you ever fed from our own?”

“hm?” it’s a sound of confusion brought half on by his simple lack of knowledge, and half on by his slow-processing brain. only seconds after does he fully register your question, and the eyes he hadn’t realised he had screwed shut flew open. “no. i — i didn’t know that was possible.”

all at once, you’re sitting up again — swinging your leg over his hips until you’re standing. it wouldn’t be right to call it clambering — you are impossibly graceful, even passed the agility and elegance that comes with the gift of the undead. his hands reach for you before he can stop them, a sound like a question on his tongue, and you send him the sweetest, most tooth-rotting, stomach-turning smile. he thinks he likes your biting, cruel grins more, though you’re lovely regardless.

you begin to reach for the ties of your corset at your spine — just another thing that makes his mouth water. people didn’t wear these sorts of clothes anymore, not in the human world. but he remembers the skirts and corsets from paintings of noblewomen hundreds of years ago, and how he’d admire the curve of their waists, the swell of their chests—

“of course, satoru wouldn’t tell you. why would he?”

his eyes snap up from your chest, caught with his hand in the cookie jar. but you don’t seem to mind. the corset is removed painfully slowly, for no other reason than to torture him; then, the outer dress, with its carmine satin and intricate embroidery. you throw it to the floor carelessly, as if the most knowledgeable museum curators wouldn’t prostrate themselves at your feet for the simple chance to display it for millions to see — a while his eyes drink up the sight of more skin, the whisper of form beneath your underdress and bloomers, you near him once more.

metal to a magnet, a moth to flame, he pulls himself to the edge of the bed. you find a place between his legs and grasp his chin, and choso can’t look away from you.

“i can take you apart and put you back together,” you say — promise — voice like crushed velvet, quiet and creeping like a choking vine. your thumb smooths over his cheek and ends at its apple, where you press the sharp tip of your nail into his flesh. “i can show you the pleasures of your eternal life, and its pains, and everything in between. i can bring you to every edge, and draw you back from them just as quick — and it will be painful, and you’ll enjoy it so much you won’t be able to go another day without it.”

he’s lost the ability to speak. his unmoving heart is in his throat — or in your hands, or between your sharp teeth. you tilt your head and regard him with knowing, twinkling eyes.

“all you have to say, pup, is yes.”

oh, it’s out of him so quick he can hardly keep up — a word so breathy you’d swear you’d already had your way with him. but embarrassment is a thing of the past when your smile stretches, and you murmur marvellous. you release him from your grasp, much to his chagrin, but when you begin pulling down your bloomers his attention shifts.

he can smell you. smell you. the musky, salty scent of between your legs — a smell that has his mouth watering and his fingers cramping from how hard he fists the sheets. your bloomers are damp when you discard them, sticky with your arousal, and pride glows in choso’s chest. he didn’t do much, but it seemed enough — if he had only let himself lose control, hump up against you harder, perhaps it would’ve stained his clothes; seeped through your layers and onto his lap. he’d go home and hold it over his nose until the scent faded, and perhaps after.

“new as you are,” you say, climbing onto your bed once more and reclining back against the numerous pillows — huffing a mean-sounding laugh when he crawls after you. “i’ll do you the mercy of taking it easy, just this once. oh, don’t make that face — you look like a kicked puppy. i promise you’ll enjoy what i have in store for you.”

and you hike up your underdress, and spread your legs. choso’s mouth waters — the thick smattering of hair on your mons, your flower-like labia, shiny with your arousal. and your clit, peeking out from its hood, pink and shiny and begging to have his mouth on it. but as if this wasn’t enough — as if he wasn’t already scrabbling to get between your legs — you take one of those long, sharp nails, and drag it against your inner thigh. the skin splits. blood trickles down from the wound like a river of gold, flowing into the crease between your thighs and your pussy, and it smells ambrosial. if his fangs were aching before, they’re screaming, now. this isn’t human blood; this is richer, sweeter, creamier. delectable. hedonistic. you’ll make a glutton of him.

“after all,” you say, grinning wickedly, “i’m treating you to a most delectable meal.”

i love merlin being so enamored by life and nature and all the beauty of the world around him, but as magic incarnate (a force that is neither good nor evil, it just is) i would love to see morally grey merlin. like ik we kinda get that with him killing people in arthur’s name and forsaking his people for the man he loves, but i mean like sorta dark and unnerving merlin who finds beauty in death and destruction and is fascinated by it. merlin who was conditioned on right and wrong but who still feels a pull to what others would consider wrong. finding wolves gorging on a carcass in the woods and feeling this pull to join them, to revert to a wild thing, to be animalistic and uninhibited. just forest nymph merlin where he’s so natural he’s unnatural.

#like his issue with hunting is the hunting for sport #he understands and enjoys hunting for survival - using every peice of the animals he kills without waste #but the senseless killing is aggravating bc its upsetting the balance between life and death #the death of an animal is meant to uplift a life - the meat is to feed and the pelt is to warm #even leaving a carcass on the ground fertilizes the earth and sustains life #but to just kill to brag about your skill?? how useless #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #nymph merlin #kinda

🌺 Ok one for the new kid! Kasander likes animals but keeps their distance from them, on account of not trusting the Urges

6/10 on average, I think, spiking to a 10 depending on recency of the last Incident. Kasander really loves animals and is someone who talks to them a lot, and they struggle to balance that with the precautions that would keep other creatures safe. In the end it's the same way with their companions- they could easily hurt or kill one of them by mistake, but they still travel with others. They're learning themself better all the time, and they hope that will help them have a better sense of when it's about to take them and they need to get away. They withdraw much more completely when something has gone wrong recently though. It's hard to maintain that optimism when the strategy has just failed.

[headcanon prompt]

#thank you for thinking of them <3 #I think kasander has a way of managing the urge that's very high risk high reward compared to how asperia does it.#asperia feeds it very frequently at some low level (better not to think about that relationship with animals)#and by always leaning in and going with the flow they're not getting swept away. there's some direction to it and less total loss of contro #it helps that asperia (like most of the others) has very little empathy. kas couldn't do that.#kasander is much better at blocking it out completely for periods but has absolutely no control over it as a result #it's not really possible to block it out forever though. it's a lot more sustainable to let asperia take charge of it sometimes #but kasander is stubborn even when they're getting along.#now let's see if the xkit autotag thingy works. I wanna see.#kasander #ask game #emi plays bg3 #EDIT: IT DID NOT.#arendaes #ask me emithing

Also… vegans aren’t trying to sell you vegan products. We just don’t support animal products being bought lol

#like vegans don’t want to feed u vegan burgers those are literally for us lolZ #also veganism is not new #like…. plenty of cultures around the world have versions of vegan and vegetarianism spanning back since… well #a Long Time #and it’s not like we’re gonna prevent u from buying food or say ur an immoral asshole for doing so #but it would be nice if you could recognize the systems around u are exploitative and #enables you to eat more animal products than you would if we had a sustainable society

i do think i might have to actually cull some platies myself soon and order some clove oil...

#i should've asked the store staff if they'll take platies to use as feeders for their cichlids and huge gourami displays #bc id rather my fish go to sustaining other life forms. it's kinda a spiritual comfort #like their physical body will return to the earth via the life cycle and their spirits move on to a new life #i rarely talk about my religious beliefs but they do influence how i take care of my animals...#if i do cull some by my own hand i will use the bodies as plant fertilizer in my outdoor planters though #after all people literally use stuff like fish meal to feed plants #it also feeds other valuable organisms in the soil #the life cycle is really beautiful honestly.#but im too drunk to go on lmao #hades.txt

imma keep it real with you chief: there ain't no such thing as a "low maintenance pet" or a "starter pet". either be willing to fully commit to taking care of your animals or don't own any

#wak #spice tag #kinda I guess???#but I've been trying to raise brine shrimp as of late #and I've learned that even though they don't require the same level care as a dog or a cat #you have to do a lot more than just put the eggs in and put a pinch of prepackaged Growth Food in every 7 days and call it a day #if you wanna keep them alive they need heat. and a source of oxygen. and a light source. and purified/distilled water. and sea salt #and eventually that prepackaged food is going to run out so you need a sustainable means of providing food for them #and you need a Lot of knowledge on how they function and survive outside of a tank #like.. animals like fish and hamsters and such aren't toys that you play with for a while and then shelve when you get bored #they're just that. animals #and thus are a commitment no matter how small or quiet or out-of-the-way they are #and I'll be real nobody below the age of at least 11 should be investing in sea monkey kits #unless there's an educated adult supervising them every step of the way (and even 11 year olds should have supervision tbh)#but the point is #if you want something that you don't have to feed or play with or choose specific enclosures for or be committed to at all #get a teddy bear or something

i maintain it is this devotion to aesthetic at all costs that is killing us

#bzz bzz #fast fashion benefits from tiktok creating and throwing away trends #plants that help feed animals and more are getting stripped because they don't fit the clean look of suburbia #just in general there is so much that is junked because it doesn't 'look right'#our world can't sustain itself off the backs of aesthetics

Feeding the Future Sustainably: The Rise of the Upcycled Animal Feed Market

The global food system faces a multitude of challenges. Food waste is a rampant issue, with a significant portion ending up in landfills, creating methane emissions and environmental degradation. At the same time, the demand for animal protein is projected to rise steadily.

Enter upcycled animal feed – a burgeoning market offering a solution to both these problems. Upcycled animal feed diverts food byproducts, surplus ingredients, and even previously inedible materials into nutritious and sustainable feed options for livestock.

How Upcycled Animal Feed Works

Upcycled animal feed uses a variety of ingredients that would otherwise go to waste. These can include:

Food processing byproducts: Fruit and vegetable peels, bakery rejects, and spent grains from brewing can all be processed into valuable nutrients for animal feed.

Grocery store discards: Slightly bruised fruits and vegetables nearing their expiry date can be upcycled into feed, preventing unnecessary food waste.

Insect protein: Insects can be efficiently farmed and provide a rich source of protein for poultry and fish.

Upcycled feed undergoes rigorous processing to ensure safety and remove any potential contaminants. The resulting product offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional feed sources.

Benefits of Upcycled Animal Feed

Reduced Food Waste: Upcycled feed diverts tons of food waste from landfills, lowering methane emissions and environmental impact.

Sustainable Practices: It promotes a circular economy within the food system, maximizing resource utilization.

Cost-Effective Feed: Upcycled ingredients can be a cheaper alternative to traditional feed components.

Animal Health: Upcycled feed can be formulated to be highly nutritious, promoting healthy livestock.

The Future of Upcycled Animal Feed

The upcycled animal feed market is poised for significant growth. As consumers become more environmentally conscious and demand for sustainable products rises, upcycled feed is expected to gain wider adoption.

Challenges remain, however. Regulations around safety and processing standards need to be established. Additionally, efficient collection and transportation systems for food waste are crucial for large-scale upcycling.

Through targeted modulation of metabolic processes, Metalean optimizes nutrient utilization, ensuring that every ounce of feed translates into tangible gains in animal growth and productivity.

Moreover, Metalean's herbal composition imbues it with a host of ancillary benefits, ranging from improved immune function to enhanced stress resilience in livestock. By bolstering the overall health and well-being of animals, Metalean fosters a robust and resilient farming ecosystem, reducing the reliance on antibiotics and other pharmaceutical interventions.

Beyond its tangible advantages, Metalean also offers a compelling narrative for consumers seeking transparency and traceability in their food choices. As awareness grows regarding the provenance and production methods of meat products, Metalean's natural and herbal profile resonates with discerning consumers, instilling confidence in the integrity and sustainability of the supply chain.

Furthermore, Metalean's role in promoting photogenic lean meat underscores its potential to elevate the visual appeal and marketability of meat products, catering to evolving consumer preferences for premium-quality, aesthetically pleasing food options.
