NEWS 104 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2025 Alltech announced its reaccreditation with the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC), a nonprofit organization that aims to accelerate sustainability in the pet industry through education, implementation tools and collaboration. Companies accredited by PSC are sustainably led and measured businesses that drive positive impact for pets, people and the planet, which Alltech states aligns with its purpose of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty®. “For the last five years, Alltech is proud to again partner with the Pet Sustainability Coalition as part of our commitment to driving sustainability in the pet industry,” said Steve Elliott, Alltech’s Vice President for Corporate Accounts and Companion Animals. “Our reaccreditation for the fifth year not only helps us stay ahead of evolving environmental and social expectations but also supports our mission to create a healthier future for pets and the planet.” PSC offers companies many tools to help them align with responsible, sustainable business practices, such as good governance, supply chain efficiency, and informed strategizing. All these will help Alltech continue to strengthen its support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to the announcement. Since PSC also offers a substantial platform for coordination between its accredited companies, this partnership will specifically dovetail with SDG Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals and with Alltech’s own to partnering with like-minded organizations on these important issues.

This increase was primarily influenced by a 300% increase in the Peruvian output. Chile, the USA, Spain and the African countries also reported a positive trend in fishmeal production compared to January 2024. As for fish oil, total output in January 2025 was 71% up year over year, again mainly driven by Peru. The other regions also reported an increased fish oil production compared to January 2024, with the exception of the North European countries. According to the China Feed Industry Association (CFIA), aquafeed production in 2024 decreased by 3.5% year-on-year and domestic aquafeed sales in 2024 decreased by approximately 10%. The decline was primarily driven by unfavourable weather conditions for aquaculture, generally weak farm-gate prices, and farmers’ attempts to reduce costs by limiting compound feed utilisation. Similarly, in 2024, pig feed production (another user of fishmeal) fell by 3.9% year-on-year due to lower pig supply and pork production. Until the next fishing season in September 2025, most of the raw material for China’s production of fishmeal and fish oil is expected to come from frozen fish and imports such as sardines.
