Nofima determines omega-3 rape seed oil is safe for use in salmon feeds
Dec. 7, 2017
Preliminary trials and analyses of omega-3-rich oil from genetically modified rape seed indicate that it is safe to use in salmon feed. Nofima is currently testing omega-3 Canola, a rapeseed oil rich in the marine fatty acid DHA. The salmon given feed containing omega-3 Canola were analyzed for growth, composition and health, and found to have the same fillet omega-3 levels as salmon fed with fish oil. Gene expression analyses showed that effects depended on the amount of oil, not the type of oil. “Thorough analyses of these results have not shown any differences in health and growth between fish fed the two oils.”

Survey finds mycotoxin contamination in wheat from Poland
Nov. 23, 2017
Nutriad has released the results of its 2017 Mycotoxin Survey, which provided insight into the incidences of aflatoxin B1 (AfB1), zearalenone (ZEN), deoxynivalenol (DON), T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, fumonisin B1 (FB1), fumonisin B2 (FB2) and ochratoxin A (OTA). The results showed that 83% of the wheat samples were contaminated with DON. None of the samples contained AfB1, FB1, FB2, T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin. Only 2,3 % of samples contained ZEN. The survey concluded that the year’s harvest of wheat in Poland was of medium quality in terms of mycotoxin contamination, and that the 2017 crop should not automatically be considered safe for inclusion into finished feed rations for all animal species and a degree of vigilance is prudent.

The Commissioners of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) Atlantic Menhaden Management Board voted in favor of maintaining the way it manages the species. As part of Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Menhaden Intestate Fishery Management Plan (FMP), the Commission decided to continue with the current management measures for the species until its biological ecological reference points (BERP) workgroup finishes developing menhaden-specific ecological reference points (ERPs).
