Faroese salmon farmer Bakkafrost has become the world's first Atlantic salmon producer to certify farms against the Aquaculture Stewardship Council's new Farm Standard, with three Faroese sites already certified and the remainder in the Faroe Islands and Scotland to follow ahead of the May 2028 transition deadline.
European asset manager Ambienta has acquired Norway-based BioMarine, FLS, and Smir, plus Faroese firm GroAqua, through its Ambienta IV fund, describing the four deals as the first step toward building an integrated sustainable aquaculture technology platform.
Senegalese poultry group Sedima is set to invest 20.47 billion CFA francs (US$35 million) in an integrated poultry and grain complex in Nkouo, Republic of Congo, targeting local corn, soybean and broiler production to reduce the country's dependence on imported feed and chicken.
A project led by the University of the Philippines Visayas and funded by DOST-PCAARRD has found that lemongrass and citronella essential oils show promise as natural, antibiotic-free feed additives for saline-tolerant tilapia, though researchers say further validation is needed before commercial application.
A new industry commentary published on 28 September 2026 calls on researchers and producers to move beyond conventional life cycle assessment when evaluating insect-derived feed ingredients, arguing that scale effects, resource competition and functional animal nutrition benefits are routinely overlooked. Representatives from Innovafeed and Protix cite industrial-scale emissions data to support the case for updated assessment frameworks.
Brazilian cooperative C.Vale has become the first company in Brazil to receive Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Feed Standard certification for its tilapia feed plant, completing ASC coverage across all three stages of the tilapia production chain: feed manufacturing, fish farming, and industrial processing.
Skretting Vietnam has soft-launched a dedicated Aquaculture Feed Validation Farm designed to support structured feed research and product validation across fish and shrimp species, with potential reach across Southeast Asia and the company's global innovation network.
Cargill is investing more than USD 130 million over two years to expand and modernise poultry processing, feed production, grain storage, and farming infrastructure in Thailand and the Philippines, targeting rising global demand for high-quality protein.
Lallemand Animal Nutrition has launched SMART GROWS, an integrated young-ruminant programme combining milk replacers, nutritional supplements, microbial solutions, bedding and farm-management support to improve calf health and resilience from birth through weaning.
France-based Innovafeed and Dutch company Protix have jointly published a white paper arguing that current life cycle assessments of insect-derived feed ingredients rely on outdated pilot-scale data and fail to capture real-world sustainability gains already achieved at industrial scale, including a reduction in Innovafeed's carbon intensity by a factor of five since 2022.
Indonesia's Agriculture Ministry has allocated around Rp 17 trillion to build an integrated livestock industry spanning feed mills, hatcheries, poultry and dairy farms across the country, with five initial sites in Lampung, East Java, South Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara and Gorontalo targeted for completion in 2027.
Researchers at Chile's Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso have developed a synthetic peptide-based feed additive, Aqua P-Enhance, designed to boost Atlantic salmon's innate immune response against salmonid rickettsial septicaemia. Salmon farming company Invermar has agreed to integrate the additive into its feed production lines for real-world farm trials, with performance targets including a 50% reduction in SRS-related mortality and antimicrobial use, and a 10% increase in final body weight.
