Aqua feed
The aqua feed industry in Europe is a dynamic and rapidly growing sector, driven by the increasing demand for sustainable and high-quality seafood. As fish farming continues to expand across the continent, the demand for nutritious and reliable feed ingredients continues to grow along with it. Cefetra plays a key role in meeting this demand by providing essential ingredients that support the health, growth, and productivity of farmed aquatic species.
Europe’s aqua feed industry is characterized by its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and quality. Major producers in countries like Norway, Scotland, Spain, and Greece are at the forefront of aquaculture, farming species such as salmon, trout, sea bass, and sea bream. The industry’s growth is fueled by the rising consumption of seafood, which is seen as a healthy and more environmentally friendly protein source than traditional livestock.
Cefetra offers a comprehensive range of ingredients essential for creating balanced and nutritious feed formulations. The company’s portfolio includes high-protein meals, essential oils, vitamins, and minerals that cater to the specific dietary needs of various aquatic species.
Animal Ingredients
Fish meal is a cornerstone ingredient in aqua feed due to its high protein content and its amino acid profile. It supports the growth and development of fish and shrimp, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients for optimal health. Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, is important for maintaining the immune function, skin health, and vitality of aquatic animals.
Plant-Based Proteins
With sustainability being a key focus, Cefetra supplies a range of plant-based proteins such as soybean meal, rapeseed meal, and corn gluten meal. These ingredients provide an eco-friendly alternative to fish meal, reducing pressure on marine resources. They are rich in protein and essential nutrients, making them suitable for inclusion in aqua feed formulations.
Cefetra is committed to sustainability, aligning with the broader goals of the European aquaculture industry to promote environmentally responsible practices. The company ensures that its ingredients are sourced from suppliers who adhere to sustainable and ethical standards.
