NEWS 80 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE August 2022 The Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER) and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have partnered to debut the Feed Systems Sustainability Summit, set to take place Sept. 28-29, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The summit will bring together the full feed value chain, including upstream and downstream entities, to advance action around four critical sustainable feed systems components: circularity, innovation, regenerative agriculture and responsible sourcing. The in-person event will convene a select group of diverse stakeholders who collaboratively share a vision for sustainable feed systems. To garner input, thought provoking case studies and engaging workgroup discussions will be the cornerstone of the summit. To ensure participation across the full feed value chain, organizations can participate by sponsoring, submitting a case study, or by invitation. In the months preceding the event, IFEEDER and WWF will offer three, no-cost webinars exploring topics impacting feed system sustainability efforts. IFEEDER and WWF are seeking high quality case studies from a diverse selection of organizations representing the feed supply chain. Case studies should demonstrate relevant activities across the feed supply chain that activate the sustainability pillars: people, planet and governance. IFEEDER, WWF announce Feed Systems Sustainability Summit Andfjord Salmon, Skretting and Zooca team up for specially designed salmon feed Andfjord Salmon, Skretting Norway and Sortland-based Zooca® have signed a letter of intent that facilitates the provision of a specifically designed salmon feed for Andfjord Salmon and a long-term cooperation to increase the utilisation of the zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus (Calanus) in salmon feed. Andfjord Salmon is the first salmon farmer in the world that utilises a commercially developed feed that contains Calanus. In February this year, Andfjord Salmon entered into a strategic feed supply agreement with Skretting. Under this agreement, Skretting has developed a feed that is specifically tailored to Andfjord Salmon’s flow-through technology to ensure optimal water quality, fish welfare and growth conditions in the land-based pool. This will also ensure the production of a premium quality salmon. The feed has been named “Calanus® Plus by Andfjord Salmon”. It consists of feed ingredients that have a proven track record from land-based salmon farming. However, the feed composition is specifically tailored to Andfjord Salmon’s flow-through system and location at Andøya. Calanus® Plus by Andfjord Salmon is the first salmon feed that utilises the zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus as raw material ingredient. The feed also contains algae oil as an alternative to marine fish oil. Supplying the Zooca® Hydrolysate to Skretting is Zooca® (Calanus AS), which processes Calanus finmarchicus at its facility at Sortland in Vesterålen, close to Andfjord Salmon’s site at Kvalnes. Andfjord Salmon, Skretting and Zooca have partnered to provide a specifically designed salmon feed for Andfjord Salmon and a long-term cooperation to increase the utilisation of the zooplankton Calanus in salmon feed.
