They also allow for reducing the use of fertilizers and plant protection products, while enabling the creation of varieties with higher nutritional value. The conference will be an opportunity to discuss the future of Polish agriculture and the prospects offered by innovative solutions in plant breeding.

Prof. Piotr Micek, PhD
Soybeans from Polish fields – how to use their potential in animal nutrition.
The presentation will highlight the most important results of analyses of the quality of domestic soy products, such as oilseed meal, extruded soybeans, and post-extraction meal. Research has shown that Polish soybeans can be a valuable source of protein in the nutrition of calves, dairy cows, pigs, and poultry, and that their nutritional value is comparable to that of imported feed. We will highlight the practical benefits of using soybeans from Polish fields and issues that require further refinement in processing. This will provide farmers with clear guidelines on how to make the best use of domestic soybeans in animal nutrition and what opportunities they offer for farms.
