NEWS 92 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2022 Largemouth bass enjoy increased growth, better survival and improved gut health when fed Calysta’s FeedKind® Aqua protein, a new study has shown. The 10-week growth study carried out by the Institute of Feed Research, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing compared the performance of FeedKind-fed bass with a control group using a fishmeal-based feed. Other observed benefits included better digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, better antioxidant capacity and better microbial diversity. While noting that a diet high in fishmeal content was not the best choice for largemouth bass, the report published in MDPI found that containing 3-6% FeedKind in a low fishmeal and high plant protein diet provided optimal benefit. The results come as Calysta works with Adisseo to commission the world’s first industrial scale FeedKind plant via Calysseo, their 50/50 joint venture to produce FeedKind for China and the wider Asian aquaculture market. Calysseo is building its maiden plant in Chongqing, China, which has a capacity of 20,000 tonnes per year of FeedKind protein from the first phase of the project, with further expansion planned in future to cope with demand. FeedKind Aqua is a natural, sustainable and traceable feed ingredient for aquaculture, produced by fermentation. FeedKind has been validated via extensive trials across popular aquaculture species, including shrimp, seabass, and salmon.
