Nutrition built on science, inspired by sustainability 

Aquafeed formulations have changed dramatically during the past years as a result of the market demand for more sustainable as well as cost-efficient feed. Nutritionists continue to develop strategies to cope with fluctuating availability and price of key raw materials. Some points are important to look at for an optimized nutrition : 

• Palatability of aquafeed with reduced levels of marine ingredients can be affected, resulting in reduced feed intake and performance.
• Traditional animal and plant protein sources are dependent on environmental conditions which often result in variability in availability and price. 

Sustainability is founded on three essential pillars. From an environmental perspective, it involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions and minimizing nitrogen and phosphorus excretion. Economically, it must ensure profitability for producers while keeping prices affordable for consumers. On the social side, sustainability promotes animal welfare and guarantees the production of safe, high-quality food. 

• Diet reformulation: Better use of local feedstuffs
• Feed efficiency: Produce more, with less feed  
• Reduce excretion : Less N and P emissions
• Animal health status : Reduced mortality better productivity
