# Swedish Trials Show Circular Feed Can Cut Environmental Impact Across Four Animal Sectors

> Three years of Swedish trials tested mycoprotein, insect meal and mussel meal as replacements for soy and fishmeal in feed. Fish, pigs and laying hens performed comparably, while broiler growth was slower. The project says scaling up will need investment, long-term purchasing commitments and clearer regulation.

## Why it matters

If scaled, alternative proteins could reduce long-run demand for soymeal and fishmeal. The effect on current prices is negligible at this stage.
