What ingredients are in Skretting feeds? 

Aquaculture feeds contain essential nutrients that should be delivered in the right quantities to keep fish and shrimp growing well and healthily. These nutrients come from a variety of different sources. In addition to fish meal and fish oil, they often contain other vegetable-based meals and oils, fish trimmings and processed by-products from land animals.

  • Agricultural crops such as wheat gluten, corn gluten, soybean meal, soy protein concentrate, rapeseed meal, sunflower meal, lupin and faba bean   
  • Wild-capture fish and crustaceans for ingredients such as fish meal, crustacean meal and fish oil  
  • By-products from farmed land animals such as poultry meal, feather meal, blood meal and poultry oil
