Data Sheet 1_Potential opportunities and challenges of utilizing brewer’s spent grain in s

A document analyzing the potential of brewer's spent grain (BSG) as a sustainable protein source in aquaculture feed. It discusses BSG's protein content (15%–27% of dry matter), antinutritional factors, and processing strategies, and includes a Life Cycle Assessment of hypothetical diets with 10% or 37% BSG. The text document was authored by E. Geremia and uploaded to figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing the environmental impact of alternative aquafeed ingredients based on the described Life Cycle Assessment.
• Evaluating protein replacement strategies in fish feed based on the described 50% substitution potential of brewer's spent grain.
• Studying methods to reduce antinutritional factors in feed ingredients based on the mentioned hydrolysis and fermentation processing strategies.

Strengths

• Contains specific quantitative data, such as BSG protein content (15%–27% of dry matter) and substitution rates (up to 50%).
• Includes analysis from a structured methodology, specifically a Life Cycle Assessment of two hypothetical diets.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 1.6 MB DOCX file; the underlying data for the analysis is not provided in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent, limiting direct computational analysis.
• The description suggests information on the global impacts of using BSG remains limited.
