The PRF’s main objectives are to replace imported protein for animal use with locally produced protein, but also to promote better utilisation of protein. These objectives are promoted through funding research and technology transfers.
Research is funded in terms of appropriate related crops, oil seeds and fish meal and other protein sources, as well as, the application and utilisation thereof by the most important fish, animal and poultry species that are specific to the South African market.
All related research, finalised and current, is available on the PRF web page, at www.proteinresearch.net
