Working together to combat the use of antibiotics in aquaculture
The Chilean salmon industry has long been criticised for its extensive use of antibiotics. Skretting initiated the Pincoy Project in 2016 to bring together industry partners from various stages in the Chilean salmon production chain to find a holistic solution.
It's not just what we aspire to do, it's what we do.
Skretting's focus on sustainable aquaculture is committed through our Nuterra programme, which is designed to live up to our responsibilities and ambitions over a period of several years as we work to fulfil our mission of “Feeding the Future”. The objectives are aligned with the long-term goals of our strategy as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
At Skretting’s Aquaculture Research Centre (ARC) curiosity is our passion. Our ultimate goal is to see the research we conduct implemented into innovative and sustainable solutions for the aquaculture industry.
Skretting has implemented dynamic quality assurance and control at every stage of our production. We do this to ensure feed and food safety, quality, and to preserve our leadership in the global aquafeed market.
