Today, Skretting predicts that new sustainable sources of feed ingredients will be increasingly important for securing the
future production of aquaculture feed and it is then continuously scouting for alternative protein sources for aquaculture feed ingredients. Skretting has embarked upon a series of ambitious, company-wide strategies that aim to drive the aquaculture feeds expansion of the company, while following the principle to contribute to the reduction of
the aquaculture industries’ reliance on marine ingredients and ingredients that have a high environmental footprint.
The main idea of this project is to prepare for the future by developing yeast biomass into a high-quality protein source affordable to be used in salmon feeds. This can be achieved by development of a new processes for increasing protein digestibility and possibly increasing protein content of the yeast biomass. The knowledge created in this project will be used to scale-up and build an industrial process for the new yeast product.
