INTERVIEW FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2026 69 tion, microbiota balance, and immune modulation, we created a broader and more sustainable protective effect. In the field, the synergy between these mechanisms translates into clearer performance outcomes: more stable growth, better feed efficiency, and faster stress recovery. This multi-layered approach helps producers maintain consistent results despite the inherent variability of aquaculture environments. At this point, what solutions does Adisseo provide to support aquaculture producers? Could you share the primary mechanisms of action behind these solutions and the performance outcomes observed in the field? Adisseo supports aquaculture producers with functional solutions designed to help animals maintain their performance when facing real and unavoidable production stressors. Our approach focuses on strengthening key tissues, such as the gut, gills, skin, and liver (or hepatopancreas for shrimp), which play a central role in immunity, metabolism, and overall robustness. By acting on these critical interfaces, our solutions help stabilize physiological balance, allowing animals to better cope with environmental fluctuations and microbial pressure. These products work through complementary mechanisms, including modulation of inflammation, reinforcement of epithelial barriers, optimization of microbiota, and improved oxidative stress management. In the field, this translates into clearer outcomes: better feed efficiency, consistent growth rates, and improved stability under challenging conditions. Importantly, producers observe benefits not only during disease pressure but also in day-to-day operations, where subtle, unnoticed stressors often erode performance. Our objective is to provide practical, evidence-based tools that help production systems achieve more predictable and resilient results. How does Adisseo’s SustainWay approach provide a roadmap for aquaculture producers in the long term? Adisseo’s SustainWay approach provides a longterm- framework that integrates performance, health, and sustainability. It helps producers move from short-term problem solving to strategic production optimization by focusing on resource efficiency, animal robustness, and environmental responsibility. Rather than offering isolated solutions, SustainWay connects nutrition, health, and sustainability objectives into a coherent roadmap, supporting producers as regulations, consumer expectations, and production systems evolve. Finally, how does optimizing health to drive performance align with sustainability goals in aquaculture? What does the approach of “more consistent performance with fewer resources” mean for the producers? Optimizing health to drive performance is fully aligned with the sustainability goals. Healthier animals convert feed more efficiently, require fewer interventions, and utilize resources such as feed, water, and energy more effectively. Optimizing health to drive performance directly aligns with sustainability because healthier animals use resources more efficiently. When animals maintain better gut integrity, stronger immunity, and a more stable physiological balance, they convert feed more effectively, require fewer interventions, and show more predictable growth. All of these factors reduce the environmental footprint per kilogram of biomass produced. For producers, the concept of “more consistent performance with fewer resources” means lowering risk while improving margins and reducing environmental footprint. Stable health translates into better feed efficiency, shorter cycles, fewer losses, and less variability, allowing each unit of feed, energy, or labor to generate more value. In the long term, this is what enables production systems to reach—not just approach—their full biological and economic potential, while meeting the increasing expectations for responsible and sustainable aquaculture.
