Our innovations

We opened a world-class EUR 6.1 million R&D station in Ecuador, dedicated to shrimp farming and expanding our knowledge of shrimp nutrition and health. This station aims to shape the future of shrimp farming in one of the world's most crucial shrimp-producing regions.

We joined forces with eniferBio, the winner of the 2020 Nutreco Feed & Food Tech Challenge, to continue driving innovation in livestock farming, aquaculture, and alternative food proteins. The future steps outlined in this agreement are set to revolutionise the industry.

About the cooperation

In line with our goal of eliminating marine-derived ingredients in feed by 2025, we partnered with Atlantic Sapphire and algal oil specialist Veramaris® to introduce sustainable omega-3 rich salmon to the United States.

Skretting ARC underwent a transformation to become Skretting Aquaculture Innovation (AI). This new unit integrates all facets of innovation, from research and product development to digital innovation and sustainability.

about Skretting ai

As a key part of our ongoing commitment to improve the sustainability of the industry, we extend our scope beyond the supply of sophisticated and sustainable feeds by creating a new global product line – AquaCare – specifically focused on providing practical solutions to improve water quality for fish and shrimp farming systems.

About AquaCare

Infinity, our final development of the MicroBalance® concept to become completely independent of marine feed raw materials, is launched.

About Infinity

As the global population continues to grow, there is increasing focus on aquaculture to provide the protein to feed the world. At Skretting, as one of the largest aquaculture feed suppliers in the world, we see that we have an essential role to play. A 30 million tonne projected increase in aquaculture production means there will be a need for an additional 45 million tonnes of raw materials. So where will they come from? 

About ingredient innovation

High temperature can have a significant influence on growth performance. HT is a feed solution to support fish during periods with high water temperature.

About HTO2

Lorica is the most advanced functional health feed for shrimp, designed to strengthen shrimp before and during environmental and bacterial challenges.

Today, Skretting is the market leader for feeds specifically designed for recirculating aquaculture systems. Skretting has invested many research resources into RAS because of their potential to enhance the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. We have three dedicated RAS-based research facilities across the world, each of which has a unique focus. Our central RAS team at the Skretting Aquaculture Research Centre (ARC) is comprised of many knowledgeable researchers,specialising in these systems.

About RAS

Skretting Marine Hatchery Feeds (MHF) is established.

Over the course of the last 20 years, we have established a comprehensive portfolio of models for the large number of species that we supply feeds for. Each Skretting diet has a unique FCR model, based on research done by Skretting Acuaculture Research Centre (ARC), which tests all raw materials and diets both in the lab and under field conditions. Combining biology, quality and economics, the robust set of innovative AquaSim management tools give qualified references through which aquaculture farmers can calculate expected farm performance. 

About AquaSim

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an accurate and rapid analysis method that is well suited for quantitative determination of nutrients in feed ingredients and feed. NIR instruments are installed at every Skretting plant worldwide and provide rapid, accurate analyses of feed ingredients, intermediate products and finished feeds.
