NEWS 92 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE October 2022 Cooperation between eniferBio and Skretting expanding The partnership between eniferBio and Skretting has been strengthened by the signing of an agreement that defines the future steps for testing PEKILO® protein in Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout. The first performance tests on PEKILO® with Atlantic salmon were run in 2021 with promising results. In unison with the signing of the agreement, eniferBio has now provided a new batch of PEKILO® protein for the next phases of testing its performance as aqua feed with Atlantic salmon, and the first performance testing rounds with rainbow trout. “The MoU defines the next steps towards commercialisation of PEKILO® protein and implementation into Skretting feeds, in line with our sustainability ambitions of including 5–10% of novel ingredients into our formulations by 2025. There is a strong intention from both parties to reach large commercial volumes of this low carbon, high protein novel raw material; first in Europe and subsequently in other geographies,” says Mette Lütcherath, Category Manager Novel Ingredients at Nutreco. “Skretting is a leading manufacturer and supplier of aquaculture feeds, so it is significant to get help from a major company like them in getting our innovation out there. We are thrilled that the first round of performance tests was a success, and we can continue the partnership,” adds Joosu Kuivanen, COO and Co-founder of eniferBio.
