Does Skretting use novel ingredients in its feed?
Yes, Skretting fully supports the development of novel ingredients and we have been using some of these in our diets with customer support. We work proactively to fully understand the complexities of all new alternatives from sustainability, nutrition, quality and safety, regulatory and financial perspectives. For us, flexibility is key.
Novel ingredients are unconventional foods of plant or animal origin. Around the world, R+D focused activity of such ingredients has been increased with the aim of finding new protein raw materials and alternative sources of long-chain omega-3 essential fatty acids for use in aquafeeds. The latest technologies include microbial and insect-based sources of oil and proteins. Algae oils containing EPA and DHA and high-quality proteins based on different insect species that use waste streams as resources are already commercially available.
