WILD AQUAFEEDS
SMART FEED SUPERIOR FISH
With feed costs contributing between 55 – 65% to the total operational expenditure in aquaculture, choosing the right feed makes all the difference. Choosing the right partner is essential to your success
THE PROBLEM
Aquafeed can contribute to more than 90% of aquaculture’s carbon footprint, hence an important element to focus on for sustainable intensification. Aquaculture has been criticized for relying on wild fisheries for fishmeal and fish oil for feed formulations.
However, feeds with no marine ingredients are not necessarily more sustainable. For example, increased demand for soybeans may lead to greater deforestation,
which in turn creates damage to biodiversity and climate. Conventional aquafeeds place a high demand on the oceans due to significant quantities of ocean harvested fish used to create suitable nutrition for farmed fish.
Alternative protein sources from animals and plants have been research but often fail to match the performance of fish meal and oils.

OUR SOLUTION
Our recent innovations and strategic partnerships have allowed us to create a truly sustainable feed solution. Comprehensive research has laid a foundation for us to design smart feeds with alternative protein sources, bringing customers in line with a more sustainable future. Wild’s Smart Feed Ranges reduce fish meal and oil considerably whilst pushing the boundaries on growth performance and feed conversions.
The ‘Fish In, Fish Out’ ratio (FIFO) is used to measure the use of fishmeal and fish oil in feeds. This ratio provides insight into how much fish is required to produce cultured fish.
We properly assess all alternatives that are used to replace fishmeal and fish oil from wild fisheries to guarantee a truly sustainable feed.
