NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2025 9 Skretting announced the official launch of Necto — a new functional health diet formulated for fish that is powered by proprietary EDGEOS PhytoComplexes. With Necto, the company highlights the focus as being on meeting one of the main industry challenges today: Safeguarding fish health and welfare. Supported by many years of research and studies, Necto is the first Skretting product ever to feature commercially PhytoComplexes, representing a significant milestone in the company’s innovation journey in fish nutrition. These PhytoComplexes were specially created for use in aquaculture in partnership with Nutreco Exploration, a Nutreco division that specialises in plant research and the development of novel and unique ingredients. Improving fish and shrimp survival has always been a top priority for the aquaculture industry. As this can be impacted by a multitude of factors such as stress, environmental issues, and infections, the industry’s focus has shifted from disease resistance towards welfare and well-being, with growing emphasis placed on resilience – the ability to withstand and cope with challenges. With Necto, Skretting aims to go beyond traditional feed formulations and set a new standard in functional diets. In addition to the PhytoComplexes, Necto reportedly provides the most advanced composition of functional ingredients.

Historically, oilseed processors have relied on hexane-based extraction as the most efficient and cost-effective method to produce the cooking oils, protein meals and ingredients that form the foundation of countless food products consumed worldwide. According to CPM|Crown, without the efficiency of hexane-based extraction, the world simply couldn’t produce enough affordable protein and oil to feed today’s population of over 8 billion people. Kris Knudson, President of Crown, describes the effort that went into creating Monarc: “Starting from our company’s foundation of industry-leading experience in solvent-based extraction technology—and specifically over 50 years in alcohol-based extraction—our experts spent over 5 years developing this revolutionary technology with cutting-edge process simulation software, our unmatched R&D resources and dozens of runs at our state-of-the-art Innovation Center. We’re proud of the perseverance and hard work of our team and are thrilled to introduce Monarc to the industry and the world.” Read more>> Skretting introduces Necto for fish welfare Crown introduces Monarc, new alcohol-based extraction technology Photo: Skretting Photo: CPM|Crown
