Yann Marchand will present ‘Advances in fishmeal and fish oil substitution and sustainability’ at the Aquaculture Feed Forum, Feeding for Profit, a free seminar that will be held at SPACE in Rennes, France on September 10.
There are fewer and fewer marine resources in the sea and to reduce the impact of aquaculture on the environment, it is necessary to obtain new raw materials to limit the use of fishmeal and fish oil in fish feed. Le Gouessant is a member of research programs that study some new raw materials as substitutes such as algae, insects, crops, yeast. Some specific parameters are studied for those challenges: physiological feed efficiency of the fish, taste effects of fish flesh, effects on fish health, technological feasibility of extrusion of these ingredients and impacts on the environment - life cycle analysis. Yann Marchand will present some results related to these topics.
