NEWS 14 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2024 As disruptors ranging from geopolitical tensions and higher freight costs to more stringent feed safety and environmental regulations challenge feed millers’ businesses, FeedTechnoVision 2024 is convening global experts to explore the issues, threats and opportunities influencing sustainable feed milling. The in-person programme presented in Bangkok, Thailand, will be complemented with a hybrid global programme focused on livestock from 14.15 to 17.15 ICT on Monday, 11 March. On Tuesday, 12 March, an online programme focused on aquaculture will be presented from 14.15 to 17.15. Selko announced that registration is free of charge. Pedro Caramona, category director Feed to Food Safety and Quality at Selko noted that FeedTechnoVision is designed to address the concerns of global and regional feed producers. “I am very excited to bring FeedTechnoVision back to Bangkok. Whether in the livestock or aquaculture sector, feed producers are being called upon to achieve high levels of feed safety while preserving margins at a time of intense volatility,” he said. “FeedTechnoVision aims to strengthen the link between operations, quality, and formulation functions, which are all essential to optimising productivity, feed safety and animal performance.” Caramona added that programme content will address emerging technologies and opportunities for addressing the challenges feed producers are facing in 2024 and beyond. Presentations and discussions in both the in-person and online programmes reflect the industry’s ambition to step into a more sustainable future.

The trial facility is dedicated to the hatchery segment and was opened by BioMar’s CEO, Carlos Diaz. Diaz noted at the opening, “We have a solid and fast-growing share in the hatchery segment, but we still see untapped potential as the segment continues to evolve.” In recent years, the hatchery sector has seen consolidation with larger units and standardisation of protocols, as well as the introduction of new species with unique feeding behaviours. “This facility is a dream come true for our Global Hatchery Team. Our goal is to ease production, reduce costs, and provide stronger larvae,” said Joana Amaral, Global Hatchery Product Manager at BioMar. “We have successfully reduced the need for rotifers and artemia with early co-feeding, and this new LARVIVA Hatchery Hub will enable us to continue to develop both diets and feeding protocols.” High-performance hatchery feeds are essential for creating strong and healthy fish and shrimp early in life, as this leads to better survival rates and a more robust animal.
