Nutrition as a tool for managing heat stress in swine production
“As global temperatures continue to increase year after year, so do economic losses due to heat stress. Providing proper nutrients to support and sustain...
Innovative approach to develop effective feed ingredients
Understanding the modes of action of various feed ingredients, identifying the gaps, and developing synergistic ingredient combinations provides an innovative approach to improve magnitude...
Bold rethinking of pet nutrition with insect protein gains momentum
With over 500 million cats and dogs globally, feeding our pets contributes to a soaring 56 and 151 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emission per year - similar to the combined emissions of the Philippines and Mozambique. Insect protein is a rapidly emerging sustainable pet food ingredient.
Feeding behaviour: Understanding the science behind feed palatability
When developing new diets, manufacturers must achieve a balance between nutrition quality and sensory appeal because feed with the high nutritional quality might not...
Protein digestibility kinetics: A key criterion for discriminating protein sources in...
To feed the world’s growing population, the animal feed industry will need more protein sources. Competition with human-edible proteins, pressure on agricultural land, sustainability...
The importance of maintaining a healthy gut
There is not a definition of what can be considered a healthy microbiota, and consequently a correct intestinal health, although a series of mechanisms...
The Silent Saboteurs: Identifying and combating mycotoxins in dairy production
Mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, can be a silent threat to dairy cows, impacting their immunocompetence and productivity. Understanding these toxins and...

Insect-fed salmon and trout pass the test of taste with flying...
As part of developing insect-fed value chains in aquaculture, InnovaFeed and its partners have conducted in-depth research on the impact of including insect protein in salmonids feed on the end product quality and taste. Expertly trained taste testers have evaluated salmon/trout fillets in comparative trials. In research, no experts were able to organoleptically differentiate insect-fed salmon or trout from traditionally-fed counterparts.
