AquaSim
Our powerful AquaSim suite offers advanced forecasting and analysis for fish and shrimp farmers to optimise farm performance and provide tailored advice.
Skretting's ultimate goal is to see research implemented into innovative and sustainable solutions for the aquaculture industry, whether in the form of products, methodologies or manufacturing improvements. Our innovation directions cover three horizons – from improvements to current business, right through to completely new business models. Below you can find some examples of these.
Skretting launches new starter and grower feeds for rainbow trout to help farms to meet their full potential: Nutra Sprint & Celero.
GEMMA Neo reduces the dependence on traditional feed ingredients, while also providing ideal nutrient composition, unprecedented production system performance and weaning flexibility.
Expand AquaCare portfolio with a new water care solution for fish and shrimp pond farming. AquaCare Mineral Balance is a mineral combination offering high bioavailability of macro and trace minerals.
Vitalis PRIMA is a marine broodstock diet from Skretting that supports the health of parent fish and young fry, thereby improving the performance of hatchery systems globally.
As a key part of our ongoing commitment to improve the sustainability of the industry, we extend our scope beyond the supply of sophisticated and sustainable feeds by creating a new global product line – AquaCare – specifically focused on providing practical solutions to improve water quality for fish and shrimp farming systems.
Infinity, our final development of the MicroBalance® concept to become completely independent of marine feed raw materials, is launched.
First dedicated, documented tilapia health feed supports fish health and survival.
As the global population continues to grow, there is increasing focus on aquaculture to provide the protein to feed the world. At Skretting, as one of the largest aquaculture feed suppliers in the world, we see that we have an essential role to play. A 30 million tonne projected increase in aquaculture production means there will be a need for an additional 45 million tonnes of raw materials. So where will they come from?
High temperature can have a significant influence on growth performance. HT is a feed solution to support fish during periods with high water temperature.
Prime & Express are the next generation premium feeds for post-transfer salmon. These grower salmon feeds enable a shorter production time in the sea, without compromising final product quantity or quality. Thanks to Skretting ARC’s focus on optimising appetite, feed intake and digestion, Prime and Express together enable salmon farmers to potentially reduce their production time by as much as four weeks. Alternatively, if they wish to maintain their current production timescales, the harvest weight can be increased by up to 700 grams.
ORI-N3 is an innovative algae blend of high DHA algae allowing maximal uptake of DHA into the Artemia in a very flexible and convenient manner. Dosage and enrichment time can be tailored to best suit operational and nutritional requirements. ORI-N3 stands for n-3 fatty acids enrichment and also represents an entry into a new generation of enrichment technology.
Lorica is the most advanced functional health feed for shrimp, and is designed to strenghten the shrimp before and during environmental and bacterial challenges. Lorica differentiates itself from other products in the marketplace by being a health shrimp diet that offers a complete solution for feeding shrimp, applying the vital knowledge that Skretting ARC has built with longstanding collaborative relationships with some of the world’s leading experts on shrimp diseases and shrimp health.
Today, Skretting is the market leader for feeds specifically designed for recirculating aquaculture systems. Skretting has invested many research resources into RAS because of their potential to enhance the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. We have three dedicated RAS-based research facilities across the world, each of which has a unique focus. Our central RAS team at the Skretting Aquaculture Research Centre (ARC) is comprised of many knowledgeable researchers,specialising in these systems.
Strong R&D identifies specific nutritional requirements for European seabass and Gilthead seabream, previously fed the same diet. This first time introduction of dedicated products for the species is a significant breakthrough for the Mediterranean.
Over the course of the last 20 years, we have established a comprehensive portfolio of models for the large number of species that we supply feeds for. Each Skretting diet has a unique FCR model, based on research done by Skretting Aquaculture Research Centre (ARC), which tests all raw materials and diets both in the lab and under field conditions. Combining biology, quality and economics, the robust set of innovative AquaSim management tools give qualified references through which aquaculture farmers can calculate expected farm performance.
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an accurate and rapid analysis method that is well suited for quantitative determination of nutrients in feed ingredients and feed. NIR instruments are installed at every Skretting plant worldwide and provide rapid, accurate analyses of feed ingredients, intermediate products and finished feeds.
