With a vast predicted increase in the human population provoking sustainability concerns, researchers are finding new options not only for animal and fish feed, but also for human consumption too.
Within the EU, novel ingredients are generally considered to be food ingredients that were not consumed before 1997. Today we will explore novel ingredients and the potential these ingredients hold for aquafeed, animal feed and human consumption in the future.
They are the key to a sustainable future within many industries and are the focus of research and development teams worldwide. Animals, fish and humans can consume novel ingredients, but any ingredients in this category must not endanger or mislead consumers.
Novel ingredients are derived from many different sources. Research in this field hopes to find new materials and alternative protein sources for aquaculture and animal feeds. These ingredients can be taken from insects, microorganisms, fungi, and algae. Other options include materials that are isolated from plants and minerals.

by Brabender, Germany Providing a proper supply of protein for the world's continuously increasing population is a tremendous global challenge. Consumption of fish and seafood is traditionally anchored in many dietary cultures and recommended as a significant source of protein for nutritional enhancement. However, in view of the present situation with overfished oceans around the globe, it is necessa
One of the most important features offish culture is that the fish should have good food. Feeding and fertilization together make the pond culture successful. The growth offish in the ponds is directly related to the amount of food available in the pond. The pond must provide all the food and nutrients that the fish need. But all fishes do not need the same kind of food, for different species feed on different types of food, fish also feed on different foods depending on the stage of their li
The increase in animal feed prices and general shortage has caused concern for the product in the Kenyan market. Livestock keepers and animal feed manufacturers say that prices of raw materials have risen by 65 percent. In addition, feed has gone up by around 20 percent. The rearing of insects is growing in Kenya to provide cheaper sources of protein for livestock. Kenyans have discovered this truth and now promote insect-based technology. Moreover, these products are for not
As global animal agriculture ramps up the pace of innovation to meet the demands and challenges of a new era of production, a broad swath of dramatic advances in science is opening new doors of opportunity to help the industry feed a rapidly growing world. One of the most promising areas of advancement
