Thai Union expands adoption of sustainable feed for shrimp farms
Thai Union Group, the world’s largest seafood company, and feed-ingredient giant Corbion have expanded adoption of AlgaPrime DHA, an omega-3 rich algae feed ingredient, in Thai Union shrimp feed following a successful large-scale trial in 2019.
Thai Union said the expanded partnership marks a pivotal moment for shrimp farmers and other seafood producers as it validates success in using alternative, sustainable feed ingredients at scale.
As one of the fastest growing species within the aquaculture industry, farmed shrimp currently account for 55 per cent of global shrimp production, presenting an unprecedented opportunity to drive sustainable growth.
Thai Union said the wider adoption of AlgaPrime DHA by Thai Union Feedmill Plc reflects a priority to utilise ingredients that are traceable, reliable and sustainably produced.
