Break-out session: Feed and Feed Ingredients (part 1)
Scope /
During this year's shrimp feed manufacturing and feed ingredient seminar, we will first listen to Rabobank's latest update on the global commodity market. After that, we will hear from two executives of major feed manufacturers in Ecuador and Asia, about the regional differences in feed manufacturing, the challenges, and how they look towards the future.
After the lunch break, we will look at the feed ingredient landscape. The ASC will tell us more behind the rationale of its feed standard and the implications that it will have for feed manufacturers supplying ASC-certified producers. We will then listen to updates about both marine and plant-based ingredient supply situations and the challenges they foresee for companies which must comply with ASC feed standards or other upcoming regulations.
The last part of the session will focus on three innovations in feed manufacturing. Firstly, we will look into the extent that smart automated feeding solutions have been adopted and the differences in adoption between Latin America and Asia. We will also look into how single-cell protein production is scaled, and when these ingredients will become available to the shrimp industry at large. Finally, we will look into fish-free shrimp feed formulations, and the likelihood of these formulations ever becoming competitive in the mainstream market.
