👉 Feed engineering is a specialized field within biotechnology that focuses on the design, development, and optimization of biological systems and processes to enhance the production of desired products, such as biofuels, pharmaceuticals, or food additives. This involves manipulating microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, and algae by altering their genetic makeup through techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, metabolic pathway engineering, and synthetic biology. These modifications aim to improve the efficiency of biomass conversion, increase the yield of target compounds, and reduce production costs. Feed engineering also considers the optimization of growth conditions, nutrient supply, and environmental factors to maximize productivity while ensuring sustainability. The ultimate goal is to create robust, high-performing biological systems that can efficiently produce valuable products at scale.
