Feed ingredients are the most critical input to the costs and sustainability of aquaculture. A significant proportion of the carbon footprint in salmon farming is related to raw materials. For this reason, BioMar aims to reduce one-third of its carbon footprint, with a strong commitment to utilize 50% of its raw material coming from circular and restorative sources by 2030. One such ingredient is a new low carbon footprint, low anti-nutritional factor soy which has better sustainability credentials compared with conventional soy protein concentrate (SPC). This project will determine the anti-nutritional factors present in the new soy product in addition to overall performance, feed intake, and health that could be used to replace conventional SPC in commercial salmon feeds. This will be assessed by evaluating the effects of the new soy product on feed intake, performance, gut health, fillet quality, welfare, and overall health of fish.
