Innovative nutritional supplements based on aromatic plants and by-products of local industries will be included in the animals’ diet.

Innovative nutritional supplements based on aromatic plants and by-products of local industries will be included in the animals’ diet.

The product will have the characteristic of “marbling”, ensuring the possibility of commercial promotion and exploitation as a “special” domestic product.
