Nutrition and food safety

We work continuously to improve the nutritional value and quality of our products. We shall contribute to increased feed effectiveness and a lower FCR.

Selection of feed and the feeding regime are very important for the feed conversion ratio (FCR). Selection and distribution of feed in relation to the fishes' performance potential throughout the year and in relation to geography are active measures that should be taken to increase the fishes' performance.

  • The feed conversion factor is of crucial importance for feed costs (FCR x feed price) with the farming of fish.
  • FCR is an indicator of feed utilisation, and in this way will also have a significant impact on emissions from fish farming.

Higher feed quality gives better feed effectiveness. High nutritional value and a balanced composition are the most important factors in fish nutrition. This is dynamic development work where new knowledge and new feed raw materials are evolving all the time.

Safe and reliable feed that can be traced back to the place of origin of the nutrient is a fundamental element in our quality system.
