Implementing the OON guidelines can support farm production by meeting the nutritional requirements of the fish during the grow-out phase. Optimum Omega Nutrition is a guideline for meeting both EPA & DHA Omega-3 and ARA Omega-6 requirements, whilst maintaining the appropriate Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio in salmon diets, leading to improved salmon health and welfare throughout production. By using Veramaris algal oil in conjunction with the OON guidelines, fish farmers not only stand to improve productivity, product quality and yield but also lower their dependency on marine ingredients. Laguna Blanca branded salmon is further strengthened through this collaboration, enhancing its premium quality in response to consumer demand for high quality, nutritious and sustainable seafood. These characteristics include the fact that it is never treated with antibiotics, originating from the pristine waters of Patagonia’s Magallanes region 12, is ASC certified, rich in both EPA & DHA Omega 3 and fed on natural marine algae. Production takes place in Blumar´s Magallanes farms in Chile. FeedTechnoVision 2022 to spotlight feed production strategies As historic fluctuations in grain prices, supply chain disruptions, escalating energy costs and extreme weather events threaten feed producers’ margins, a panel of five global experts on feed processing and quality will reflect on sustainable production strategies for managing feed safety, quality and energy consumption during FeedTechnoVision 2022. The programme will be livestreamed Thursday, 8 September from 9 am to 12 noon CEST. The agenda includes a look at how feed producers can secure their position on raw material quality and availability as key drivers of input costs, how adaptions to process technology can help producers manage local raw material quality, and strategies to reduce feed processing energy costs. Finally, as extreme weather events become more common in many regions, the programme will address how to manage the special challenges that high temperature climate zones pose for feed production. Expert panellists will take an indepth look at the economics and operational efficiencies of feed production in today’s unpredictable production environment. The panel is comprised of five experts in the global feed sector: Robert van den Breemer, Procurement Director Macro Ingredients at Nutreco; Ernst Nef, feed industry consultant and former Director at the Swiss Institute of Feed Technology; Jan Jonkers, former R&D manager at the Aquaculture Research Centre of Skretting; Paul Koolen, Livestock Programme Manager for Middle East and Africa, Trouw Nutrition; and Geke Naaktgeboren-Stoffels, Global Quality Director at Trouw Nutrition.
