Alltech’s eighth annual Global Feed Survey, a compilation of estimated feed production data, reported that aquafeeds grew globally by 4 percent.
Three years of testing clearly demonstrated that increasing daily feedings through the use of automated feeding systems – a transformational technology – can significantly increase the production and value of L. vannamei produced in semi-intensive pond culture.
This study evaluated the effect of diets supplemented with fish oil and algae meal for LC-PUFA enrichment on juvenile Nile tilapia. The experimental diets have promise as a feasible option for enriching omega-3 content in tilapia fillets.
A 15-week feeding trial evaluated the replacement of fishmeal with soybean products in the diet of advanced juvenile red drum.
One Germany-based company says rapeseed protein concentrate, or RPC, can help aquafeed manufacturers meet growing demand.
Libby Woodhatch says responsible sourcing and safe raw material production is “vital” if fishmeal and fish oil are to remain credible aquafeed ingredients.
Existing dynamic models applied to the growth of Pacific white shrimp can describe and predict feeding behavior to help farmers achieve maximum benefits.
The use of properly and efficiently formulated feeds using least-cost formulation software is an important determinant of a successful crop.
Arbiom hopes to ride the wave of interest in novel feed ingredients and expand production of a nutrient-rich protein meal made from wood residues.
ProTyton is an anaerobically produced single cell protein (SCP) feed ingredient for farmed shrimp. Its maker says it boosts immunity, survival and growth.
Authors present a practical review of modern formulation options including crystalline amino acids in fulfilling nutritional requirements in aquafeeds.
Norwegian startup Planktonic AS believes that it has hit upon a viable alternative to traditional live diets in the form of nauplii from barnacles.
Field trials evaluated inclusion levels of grain distillers dried yeast of 0 to 150 grams per kilo with excellent performance of shrimp during grow-out.
The increasing use of automatic feeding systems in shrimp ponds has brought attention to the need to improve the physical quality of aquafeeds, because their properties largely affect the performance of these feeders.
At the Barcelona Seafood Summit, an expert panel discussed a sustainable future for aquafeeds. What stands between us and that future?
A significant reduction is possible in the digestible protein level in commercial diets for hybrid striped bass using ideal protein diet formulation, a robust set of ingredient nutrient availabilities, and a higher level (45 percent) of muscle profile as the formulation target.
