Adisseo continues to increase its footprint in aquaculture and announced a number of appointments in its Business Unit Aquaculture. The company is fully committed to growing in the dynamic aqua markets across the world and therefore consistently hires top professionals that bring value to their customers.

“Feed additives are playing an increasingly important role in aquaculture feed formulations and profitability of fish and shrimp farmers. Health promotors in functional feeds have proven to be an essential component of prevention strategies to reduce the impact of diseases and parasites. Digestive and metabolic enhancers improve the efficiency of carnivorous species with new types of formulations based on less marine proteins and fats and maximize feed cost efficiency in omnivorous species. Palatability solutions offer support to compensate feed attractiveness and protein quality for feed formulations based on novel ingredients. This wide range of additives requires a species-specific optimization for different aquaculture species and regions. This increases the need for specialized customer support at the local and global level,” said Peter Coutteau, business unit director Aquaculture for Adisseo.
