“Everytime a chicken or a fish is processed into the cuts we like to see on our dinner plates, it leaves by-products such as meat, feathers or carcass that are unsuitable for direct human consumption, but highly valuable in salmon feeds. Today around half of the fish meal and fish oils used in salmon feed come from circular by-products. By converting these by-products into highperformance feed ingredients, we close nutrient loops across food systems.”
