NEWS 90 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2022 US-based global agribusiness company Scoular, together with Da Yang Seafood and Bornstein Seafoods, announced that they have opened a new fishmeal processing facility located at the Port of Astoria’s Airport Industrial Park in Oregon, US. The facility will upcycle Da Yang and Bornstein fish trimmings from their nearby seafood processing plants. The trimmings will be processed into fishmeal and fish oil, valuable ingredients in the pet food and aquaculture markets and both marketed under Scoular’s Encompass™ brand. Processing will begin in early 2023. Scoular, a global agribusiness based in Nebraska, is among the world’s largest and most diverse fishmeal and fish oil suppliers. Growth in the aquaculture and pet food industries has increased the demand for fishmeal, which delivers highly digestible protein. “Our new joint venture meets this demand through innovation and by bringing together two longtime local businesses with Scoular to create a sustainable protein ingredient for pet food and aquafeed,” said Scoular CEO Paul Maass. “Bornstein Seafoods has long sought to utilize 100 percent of our seafood resources as locally as possible, and this new facility will allow us to do just that,” added Andrew Bornstein, Vice President of Bornstein Seafoods. “Partnering with Scoular and Da Yang Seafood to not only optimize our ocean resources, but also to reduce our need to ship these resources to distant markets is a big win for our local community. We are really excited to be partnering with these great companies on this project.” New joint venture opens fishmeal facility in Oregon Nutreco announced that David Blakemore will join the company as CEO of Trouw Nutrition, the company’s livestock feed business.
