Feed cost and efficiency in aquaculture

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.

Get more out of your feed ingredients

In search of better cost efficiency, nutritionists explore feed formulations for fish and shrimp with lower nutrient specifications and/or using cheaper ingredients without impacting performance.
Adisseo has developed a range of functional feed additives to enhance digestive and metabolic processes, tailored to the digestive physiology and nutritional requirements of each species. These digestive enhancers allow feedmillers and farmers to extract more value out of their feed ingredients.

Feed intake is key for growth

Seasonal shortage of fish meal and fish oil is driving aquafeed formulation in carnivorous species towards more vegetable protein sources. Palatability of aquafeed with reduced levels of marine ingredients can be affected, resulting in reduced feed intake and performance.
Adisseo offers a range of standardized peptide concentrates derived from the hydrolysis of marine proteins to support palatability and enhance feed intake of aquafeeds.
