An increase in regional protein production in Europe is possible, but any further development of regional raw feed protein cultivation is going to need a lot of support, both from feed manufacturers and policy initiatives.
Increasing the amount of trimmings and including microalgae in BioMar’s In the Blue feed has yielded salmon with a record-breaking fish-in:fish-out ratio and double the omega-3 of conventional farmed salmon.
Research funded by IFFO, the marine ingredients organization, finds that better management of aquaculture by-products could maximize “human edible yield”, but where would this leave the feed industry?
A temporary halt to glyphosate product labeling requirements in an ongoing lawsuit offers feed crop producers ‘time to breathe’ while the case is argued, says the National Corn Growers Association.
Sustainability, outreach and research provide focus areas for the National Renderers Association as it looks toward product development and feed ingredients.
Digging deeper into Alltech's feed production review, a short-term decline in beef feed production could signal a larger change, and a decrease is seen in aquafeed production in some regions.
An insect fed salmon, branded as Friendly Salmon, has arisen out of a four-year long research project – AquaFly - that began in 2014 and involved Protix along with Norwegian partners, the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) and the Norwegian University...
