PhD. Henoc Pérez Aguilar presented a project on poultry industry waste valorisation for the production of agricultural biostimulants. The process implies the mechanical separation of skin and meat, followed by protein extraction by enzymatic hydrolysis. The laboratory and pilot scale tests confirmed the feasibility of the process and the biostimulants... read more →
