NEWS 86 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2022 GOOD Meat division has entered into a joint development agreement with ADM to accelerate cultivated meat production. GOOD Meat, ADM partner to accelerate cultivated meat production Eat Just, Inc., a company that applies cutting-edge science and technology on a mission to create healthier, more sustainable foods, announced that its GOOD Meat division has entered into a joint development agreement with ADM, an international leader in nutrition that powers many of the world’s top food, beverage, health and wellness brands. This is ADM's first strategic partnership of its kind in the cultivated meat sector, which analysts predict could become a $25 billion global industry by 2030.1 GOOD Meat created the world’s first real, high-quality meat made directly from animal cells that has been approved for commercial sale, and the company is accelerating research and development and increasing production capacity to meet customer demand in Singapore and future markets. ADM’s unparalleled capabilities across every part of the global food chain, including human and animal nutrition, establishes an important pathway to largescale commercialization of GOOD Meat’s products. “Fish-Free” feed for largemouth bass is feasible, economically viable; study finds Total replacement of fishmeal and fish oil in largemouth bass feed is both feasible and economically viable, according to a new study published in the journal Aquaculture Research. The fish fed experimental feeds without fishmeal or fish oil also had higher DHA-to-EPA ratios than those fed commercial feeds, with algae oil having the highest ratio. Consumers ultimately benefit from these higher amounts of heart and brain healthy DHA and EPA from eating the fish. During the 10-week feeding trial conducted in a recirculating aquaculture system at Texas A&M, McLean and colleagues compared weight gain, survival rates, feed conversion ratio and fillet quality of fish fed fishmeal, fish-oil free experimental diets against two commercial feeds (Huifu, Xinxin Tian'en Company, China and Alltech Coppens, The Netherlands), specifically designed for juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). At the end of the trial all fish fed the experimental fishmeal and fishoil free diets had similar weight gain and survival rates matching those fed the Xinxin commercial feed. The Coppens commercial feed had the lowest growth and survival rates. The experimental diets also had excellent feed conversion ratios. The study was supported by the F3 – Future of Fish Feed’s Feed Innovation Network. A new study published in Aquaculture Research has found that largemouth bass feed without fishmeal and fish oil is both feasible and economically viable.
