NEWS 12 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE October 2025 Worldwide, sustainability is a growing concern, especially in animal production, as this sector contributes notably to greenhouse gas emissions. Animal feed and formulation play a pivotal role here, since the feed contributes largely to the environmental impact of animal production. A part of the solution comes from animal nutrition and health, with implementation of nutritional strategies that improve feed efficiency and reduce environmental footprint. To guide its customers on their sustainability journey, Adisseo built SustainWay, a dedicated service structured around four different steps. One of these steps emphasizes feed formulation. To address this, Adisseo introduced a new module within its ADICT tool, enabling nutritionists, sustainability managers, and other professionals to balance feed nutrition, cost efficiency, and environmental impact. Through the ‘ADICT sustainability module’, Adisseo points out that users can: • Extract environmental impact values for many ingredients and origins (GFLI database) and hence integrate them into the formulation software, • Formulate feeds with three dimensions: nutrition, economy and sustainability, • See where the ‘environmental impact hotspots’ are in the feed and see how certain changes influence the total carbon footprint of the diet (and other impact categories) and the feed cost. By combining innovative nutritional products and solutions with science-based services such as ADICT, Adisseo reportedly supports the transition towards a more responsible, sustainable and efficient livestock sector.

This milestone is viewed as a turning point for both the insect and aquaculture industries, demonstrating that insect protein is a viable part of the solution in responsible and resilient shrimp farming. Insect meal is much more than a protein source, it contains functional nutrients like antimicrobial peptides. Recent research from BioMar showed a unique functional benefit in shrimp feeds, making it possible to substitute it with a similarly valued ingredient currently in use. This discovery offers insect meal a viable market entry position in shrimp feeds at its current market value. From there, it’s possible to scale insect meal and hopefully be market competitive in the protein ingredient segment in the future, but for now, it can play a vital role in the functional ingredient segment in aquafeeds, according to the partners’ statement. As part of this industry-first initiative, Auchan, one of Europe’s leading retailers, will support the rollout by integrating shrimp raised on this next-generation feed into its responsible sourcing strategy and product offering.
