NEWS 18 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE January 2026 Skretting and Longyang Fresh, one of China’s largest trout producers, officially signed an upgraded strategic cooperation agreement. Skretting highlights the goals of the enhanced partnership as delivering precision nutrition, creating supply chain synergies, and advancing sustainable aquaculture practices for trout farmed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The three-year agreement is expected to inject new momentum into the development of China’s plateau cold-water fish industry. Skretting and Longyang Fresh have established a productive, long-standing collaboration in feed innovation, nutritional management, and farming practices for trout farming on the plateau. Over the years, the two companies have accumulated extensive experience on plateau aquatic ecosystems, trout physiology, and farming efficiency—laying a strong foundation for this strategic upgrade. With a shared commitment to the development of China's plateau trout industry, the renewed partnership aims to build a closer, mutually beneficial partnership. The unique plateau environment in Qinghai Province—characterised by low temperatures, high dissolved oxygen, and low pathogen pressure—offers natural advantages for trout farming. Leveraging these ecological traits, the two companies will jointly develop a precision nutrition system optimised for high-altitude farming conditions. Key initiatives include: • Developing nutrition models adapted to high-altitude water ecosystems, addressing the specific physiological needs of trout in unique environments. • Utilising global databases to optimise growth performance, health indicators, and feed efficiency, enabling more scientific and efficient farming.

Rumin8 CEO David Messina said the acquisition of Roam complemented Rumin8’s development plans for its own methane and productivity solution. “Roam has focused on the same active ingredient as Rumin8 and has developed delivery formats that expand our portfolio to reach production systems that can benefit from an extended-release profile,” he remarked. “While early in their development stage, Roam’s products can be accelerated into regulatory studies and commercialisation by leveraging Rumin8’s capabilities and learnings to provide an additional methane abatement solution to the world’s cattle farmers and ranchers,” Messina continued. Messina noted that Roam had initially focused on a fungi-based technology approach to producing tribromomethane, or TBM, which is recognized as the most effective methane reducing active in livestock and then progressed to delivering synthesized TBM. The technology acquired by Rumin8 from Roam also includes alternative processes for manufacturing and delivering TBM.
