NEWS 94 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2022 AquaBounty, a land-based salmon producer, broke ground on its state-of-theart salmon farm in Ohio, USA. AquaBounty, a land-based salmon producer innovating to enhance productivity and sustainability in aquaculture, celebrated breaking ground on the construction of its first 10,000 metric ton Atlantic salmon farm in Pioneer, Ohio. AquaBounty was joined at the groundbreaking event by partners CRB, Innovasea, local and government officials, and key Ohio economic development leaders. AquaBounty expects the project cost to be in the range of $290 million to $320 million, including a reserve for potential contingencies of $30 million. The Company anticipates commercial stocking of salmon eggs to commence in late 2023. Once in full operation, the farm is expected to bring more than 100 new jobs to the region. CRB, an international leader in sustainable engineering, architecture, construction, and consulting solutions to the food and beverage and life sciences industry, will lead the design and construction of the facility for AquaBounty. Innovasea, a global leader in technologically advanced aquatic solutions for aquaculture and fish tracking, is designing the Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (“RAS”) technology for the new farm. AquaBounty offers a consistent supply of salmon raised in the U.S. in a safe, secure and sustainable way. AquaBounty strategically locates its farm facilities within easy reach of key U.S. markets to accelerate delivery of fresh and safe Atlantic salmon to consumers. AquaBounty begins construction of state-of-the-art salmon farm Heat stress is becoming a major concern for high producing animals in all areas of the globe. Heat stress can have negative consequences on feeding behavior, growth performance and animal welfare. Recent microbiota studies by Lallemand scientists help producers understanding how feeding the live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 can help alleviate the effects of heat stress through positive microbiota modulation. Scientists have shown a relationship between the gut microbial composition and the pig’s metabolic adaptation to heat stress. In turn, feeding behavior, energy utilization, and, thus, growth performance are preserved (Labussière et al. 2022). A trial was conducted in partnership with INRAE Pegase (France) to evaluate heat stress incidence on swine energetic metabolism and feeding behavior. Ten finishing boars were housed for 20 days in Live yeast helps pigs cope with heat stress Lallemand Animal Nutrition announced the results of a new study. According to the study; live yeast helps pigs cope with heat stress through gut microbiota modulation and improved feeding behavior.
