Big data analysis of Norway’s commercial salmon production reveals the full benefits of higher levels of dietary Omega-3 EPA & DHA on survival, feed performance and quality, giving further evidence of the return on investment in better nutrition. This new analysis uses real-world data to compare health and harvest metrics. EPA & DHA levels in Atlantic salmon diets act as levers, tipping the odds in favor of fish health and feed efficiency. The study shows how investment in nutrition helps to protect value throughout the supply chain, from farm to table. The companies report the next info about the study: “This study, which processed a decade of data from 166 farms, 430 million fish and nine Norway production zones, builds on the findings of our previously published scientific research. Mortality rates were 8% lower and eFCR decreased by 13%, while flesh quality also improved in populations fed diets rich in EPA & DHA. Improvements in predictability also increased by up to 50%, which translates into greater control over outcomes and more reliable business. “ Read more>> Andritz to deliver complete feed mill to Saudi poultry producer New study points to return on investment in salmon feed
