F&A Alternative Proteins Edition

INTERVIEW 16 F&A Alternative Proteins Edition April 2023 Selko offers various solutions to preserve moist and liquid by-products and to mitigate mycotoxins in grain by-products. When it comes to moist and liquid by-products, Revalet has proven to be a cost-effective way to deactivate yeast and preserve valuable by-products (figure 3). As there is no silver bullet solution, each customer situation is thoroughly investigated, and inclusion rates are determined on a case-by-case basis. As Selko Feed Additives, what are the solutions you offer for more efficient use of resources and circular economy model? In over four decades of bringing effective feed additive solutions to the market, we learned that simply applying a product is not enough to truly make a difference in today's fast-changing economy. To make steps towards an infinite economy, we need to act as a connector between industries and look beyond our own solutions alone. This is where I believe Selko differentiates our solutions. Being part of Nutreco allows us to utilise our global network and connect both global and local players in the food and feed industry. With our nutritional know-how, global presence, and customer-driven services, we bring effective solutions that help produce safe, nutritious feed. I am convinced that all our initiatives, whether it is applying our Selko solutions, investing in fermentation- and cell-based proteins, implementing digital farming models and solutions or providing advice on nutrition and good farming practices, we all work towards our shared passion of feeding the future.

Figure 3. Dose response testing confirmed the most cost-effective solution. After day 7 the control sample was deemed unfit for feeding due to pungent smell, indicating complete microbial wastage. Therefore, it was taken out of the study.
