| Presentation | From Innovation to Application: Redefining Shrimp Nutrition for Production Efficiency and Sustainability |
Abstract
Shrimp aquaculture is under increasing pressure to deliver higher production yields while aligning with environmental and economic sustainability goals. A key challenge for the industry is reducing reliance on marine-derived ingredients such as fishmeal and fish oil, which are subject to price volatility, limited supply, and significant environmental impact.
Innovative feed ingredients and functional additives are critical in enabling this transition. By enhancing palatability, improving feed efficiency, and maximizing nutrient utilization, these solutions help to maintain or increase shrimp performance even as marine-based ingredients are reduced or replaced, ultimately contributing to a lower carbon footprint in production.
This presentation will showcase a range of novel ingredients and their application strategies to improve formulation flexibility, shrimp growth, health and overall feed performance. These practical examples provide a clear bridge between innovation and practical implementation, advancing both the sustainability and profitability of shrimp farming.
