NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2023 17 invite innovators from the feed supplement, feed ingredient, and synthetic biology sectors to join us in advancing more sustainable aquaculture practices that will improve food security globally.” The F3 Krill Replacement Challenge—the fourth contest hosted by the Future of Fish Feed—was motivated by scientific research that has shown sharp declines in krill populations by as much as 80 percent, the result of climate-induced changes in ocean temperature, currents, acidification, and regional overfishing. Krill is a popular aquaculture feed ingredient for its nutritional benefits and is thought to increase feed palatability and fish growth. As a result, the commercial krill fishery located in the Arctic and Antarctic has steadily increased production over the last decade from a high of 200,000 tons in 2010 to 450,000 tons in 2020. The rapidly expanding industrial fishery coupled with climate-induced stressors presents considerable risks to the global krill supply. A wide variety of marine life depends upon these tiny shrimp-like crustaceans at the base of the marine food chain including whales, penguins, and commercially important wild fisheries like salmon, rockfish, squid, and sardines. Krill is also important for its role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The company’s experts shared insights into the value of chromium and its innovation in poultry. Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – EMENA (Europe, Middle East, North Africa) presented multiple abstracts, showcasing the leading role its innovative solutions Lysoforte® Extend and Clostat® can offer to poultry, premix and feed producers. These abstracts included some of the latest scientific findings regarding proof of concept and the impact of a nutrient-absorption enhancer on turkey, broiler and layer performance. Other abstracts highlighted the benefits of a novel probiotic on the gut microbiome in pheasants, broilers and laying hens. "ESPN provided a unique opportunity for us to present Kemin’s scientific and technical achievements in poultry nutrition, while also gaining new scientific insights from various lectures and discussions with industry peers and leading poultry scientists in multiple areas of poultry nutrition,” said Frederika Somers, Business Manager – Monogastrics, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – EMENA.
