The project ambition is:
✅To create new kind of feeds for rabbit supplemented with flax derived products and algae, rich in n-3, able to improve the reproductive and productive performance (also in warming challenge conditions), the resistance to the infection (reduction of the use of antibiotics) and the welfare of the animals.
✅ Moreover, these kinds of feeds, will increase the fixation rate of n-3 in the meat, contributing to create a new functional food (Ωrabbit meat) to favour the consumption of beneficial health products to reduce the n-6/n-3 ratio and to improve the nutritional conditions in specific countries areas.
✅The creation of a new packaging method (adsorbent pad for the fresh meat) and the canned paté to maintain the quality and to increase the shelf-life of the Ωrabbit meat is another innovative aspect of the project contributing to favour the local and export marketing of the rabbit meat. Furthermore, the creation of the ΩRABBIT Consortium represents an innovative concept and approach.
