One of the great pleasures of working for The Marine Ingredients Organisation (IFFO) is the opportunity it presents to be able to communicate some of the realities of fishmeal and fish oil as feed ingredients and the reasons why these are not in reality replaceable as ingredients.
There is so much confusion, or sometimes even deliberate misinformation, on the
use of these materials in aquafeed that any opportunity to provide clarity or
redress the balance in the public domain is one that we at IFFO always take up
with enthusiasm.
Recently, I was honoured to speak at the AquaFarm 2019 Conference in Pordenone. The AquaFarm conference has an interesting audience that comprises of largely Mediterranean aquaculture industry, support industry and academics. It is a practical information exchange platform where topics of specific interest and importance to the industry are highlighted.
The presentation was within a session on fish feed and fish quality, described as “new formulations, ingredients, additives and integrators, and the circular economy”. The session was very ably moderated by Rebecca Sherratt, the Production Editor from International Aquafeed, and contained a round table of: Robert Tillner (Production Manager, Aller Aqua), Fabio Brambilla, (Fish Nutritionist, Naturalleva), Umberto Luzzana (Marketing Director, Skretting), and Andrea di Biase (Product Manager Aqua, Veronesi).
Following the presentation, the round table fielded a series of questions about future potential feed ingredients, and although it was at the end of the day there was a lot of interest and energy in the room that reflected well on the importance of the session topic.
