Role of Quality control in Aqua feeds

  In aquaculture, the level of productivity and economic efficiency of farming systems are influenced to greater extent by the quality of feed delivered to animals. The nutrients delivered through the feed are essential for promoting and maintaining the animal health, production and reproduction. The quality of aqua feed influences the animal performance and, consequently, the nutritional quality of fish and shrimp meat that is been supplied to the consumer market; with a direct correlation of feed to food safety, considering that the managemental and farming practices are adequate. Aquaculture feeds The quality of aqua feed is determined by diet formulation according to nutritional requirement of the various species. The pelleting characteristic of raw materials are just as important as the nutritional content and need to be considered whilst formulating feeds. Production diet (Fig. 1) so produced along with its superior quality and effectiveness, must be the one that is econo

Our role in bringing sustainable growth in aquaculture

Our commitment is to contribute to our value chain and relevant stakeholders through transparency in our operations and relationships. Our two strong internal programs -  Nuterra  for sustainabilty and  Nutrace  for quality - set the standards in sustainability and feed to food quality and safety to position Skretting as a transparent and trustworthy company that cares about making a positive environmental and social impact.   The latest  FAO’s State of World Fisheries  and Aquaculture and the  United Nations Global Compact’s Ocean Stewardship 2030  reports state that sustainable seafood production depends on industry transparency to prevent negative environmental and social impacts. At the same time, they point out that the lack of trust among the different players in the value chain is an important challenge to be addressed.  What is our key focus? Sustainability is an integral part of Skretting's strategy to remain the global leader in fish and shrimp feeds by delivering

At Trouw Nutrition, we designed our Antibiotic Reduction Program to support producers in reducing reliance on antibiotics without compromising on efficiency and productivity.

  How to improve layers performance and production efficiencies   The demand for eggs is steadily increasing year after year. To meet market demand, layer farms must produce more efficiently while using fewer resources. Layer farms face many challenges, from keeping the flock healthy, to good management practices that reduce costs and increase profitability, all while ensuring a high-quality standards final product. . Production efficiency is achieved when the animal reaches a high level of performance and feed intake while maintaining good health. Feed alone accounts for most of a livestock farmer’s total costs. Optimise your investment in layer hens by ensuring efficient intake of nutrients that translate to robust egg production, good health and enhanced overall productivity.     Maximising egg production in layers Measuring the production of layer hen is done through the number of good eggs they produce each year. Protect your investment by providing your hens with pr
