In just a few short years, the hunt for a sustainable protein that matches the nutritional value of fishmeal has gone from a pipe dream to reality.
Aquaculture has grown significantly over the last decade, but it has done so in spite of limited growth in protein availability, especially animal derived proteins. The market has effectively allocated this scarce resource, and cost pressures have driven significant reductions in marine ingredients across many applications.
Removing the natural resource bottleneck is essential to aquaculture’s growth. But as consumers pay increasing attention to how their food is produced, sustainability has become critical.
Calysta’s FeedKind protein offers the aquaculture supply chain a solution to this challenge. FeedKind is a sustainable feed that requires no animal or plant matter in its production, very little water use and requires no greenbelt land, contributing to global food security. In addition, it helps keep fish healthy and can improve growth rates, with full traceability, making it one of the most exciting new products to come to the aquaculture market.
Originally developed in Norway for the Atlantic salmon industry, FeedKind Aqua protein is a non-GMO single cell protein produced via natural fermentation. It is approved for use in organic systems in the UK and listed on the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials.
Highly traceable, FeedKind also contains a unique elemental profile that persists in the feed and in the final product; meaning a fish fed on FeedKind can be differentiated from a fish fed other diets with a simple test.
At Calysta’s market introduction facility operating in Teesside, UK, sample quantities of FeedKind have been produced and are being shipped across the world. Studies have shown FeedKind Aqua is an ideal high-protein feed ingredient for several areas of aquaculture, including salmon, trout, shrimp and warm water finfish. Trials have shown promising results measured by growth rate, feed conversion, palatability, and gut health.
