Skretting and Atlantic Sapphire Announce Partnership to Develop Zero Marine Ingredient Salmon Diet
Skretting, a Vancouver-based feed manufacturing company, has announced an agreement with Atlantic Sapphire to build a state of the art RAS feed facility in Florida.
This feed facility will serve Atlantic Sapphire’s recirculation system (RAS) operations. Skretting will build and finance the feed plant while Atlantic Sapphire will source the majority of its salmon feed demand. The contract has a 10 year life span, wherein Atlantic Sapphire will continue to source the salmon the entire decade.
This local feed source will reduce production costs and GHG emissions significantly.
Skretting has a stellar history of R&D, influencing Atlantic Sapphire’s decision in partnering up with them. This R&D record is set to continue as the two companies commit to developing specialist RAS salmon diets while reducing carbon footprints. This requires the testing and integration of novel ingredients and formulas. The ultimate goal is to use zero marine ingredients in the salmon diet without reducing the required levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the final product.
