# Swedish trials highlight potential of circular feed ingredients

> Three years of Swedish trials led by Axfoundation and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences tested mycoprotein, insect meal and mussel meal as alternatives to soy and fishmeal in feed for fish, poultry and pigs. The project found these ingredients can be used in practice with lower environmental impacts, but wider adoption will require investment, purchasing commitments and clearer regulations.

## Why it matters

If scaled, these alternatives could reduce demand for conventional soy-based meal and fishmeal, though the near-term price effect is limited while production and adoption remain constrained.
