The official launch of the BANC2 means that the Adisseo Nanjing plant will double its methionine capacity to 350,000 tons annually. Adisseo will be vested with more space and flexibility to optimize its capacity allocation, thereby cushioning the impact of fluctuations in raw material and energy prices. Thanks to this new capacity together with its global market coverage and expertise in customizing digital spray systems, Adisseo is well equipped and confident to continue the penetration of liquid methionine in China and globally. As an expert with 80+ year industry experience in feed additives on a global scale, Adisseo strives to design, produce, and promote sustainable nutritional solutions in the field of animal feed, as stated by Adisseo CEO Jean-Marc Dublanc. Key players in the aqua sector launch a new feed for shrimp production Leading aqua sector experts Förde Garnelen, Aquafeed Germany, Protix, neomar and Crusta Nova announced that they have launched SHR EX, a new feed, giving a sustainable boost to shrimp production. Leading industry experts Förde Garnelen, Aquafeed Germany, Protix, neomar and Crusta Nova have joined forces to launch a new shrimp feed: SHR EX. The feed has been exclusively designed for the needs of European land-based shrimp farms as they increasingly move towards greater sustainability. SHR EX replaces marine proteins with locally produced insect protein from a circular process. The product, which will be sold by Aquafeed Germany, is not only more sustainable, initial research also shows a significant improvement in shrimp growth and survival rates. Shrimp consumption is growing across the globe. Traditional sea farming faces challenges such as the depletion of natural resources for feed, environmental destruction, disease and the use of antibiotics, coupled with issues arising from complex transport chains. Landbased farming, away from coastal areas, is a sustainable alternative, built around the concept of local production. It improves the growth and survival rate of shrimp and maintains shrimp welfare. However, it requires feed tailored for the demands of the shrimp and its farmers. Land-based shrimp producers increasingly want to create feed produced with locally sourced ingredients in response to growing consumer demand for sustainability. Moreover, the feed needs to be healthy and taste good. The partners worked closely together to develop SHR EX, using the black soldier fly produced by Protix in the Netherlands as the insect protein source. Crusta Nova and Förde Garnelen are implementing insect meal in their specially developed land-based shrimp feeds for the first time in Europe.
