Global ingredient company Kemin Industries has announced the launch of a new animal nutrition and health division to leverage its expertise in molecular solutions to the aquaculture industry.
The new division, called AquaKulture, will will direct the expertise of the firm in inspired molecular solutions and the consumer insights toward aquatic species and aqua feed.
"Nearly half of the human food consumption of animal protein is in the form of fish and/or shrimp. With the focus on 'sustainable production,' producers are quickly moving from using wild-caught to farmed fish," said G.S. Ramesh, Group President of the division.
"With this shift, the industry is expected to grow rapidly. For these reasons and a variety of others, we decided to make AquaKulture its own division within Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health," Ramesh stated.
Kemin AquaKulture will offer a variety of products and solutions to help customers prevent microbial spoilage, strengthen oxidative control, boost lipid nutrition, promote better health in aqua species by enhancing immunity and ensure water quality to optimize growth.
The firm’s representatives pointed out this portfolio of programs will help aqua feed companies, aqua farms and fish meal producers to raise the healthiest aqua species with better growth, uniformity and economic returns.
"Over the years, several Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health teams have successfully ventured into the aquaculture market. We're excited to now launch a complete AquaKulture division that will provide even greater resources to strengthen the quality of aqua feed and feed ingredients and improve the health and survival of aqua species. We look forward to serving those in the aquaculture industry," Ramesh stressed.
