Break-out session: Feed and feed ingredients (pt 2)

Scope /
In this year's shrimp feed manufacturing and feed ingredient landscape, we will first listen to Rabobank's update on the global commodity market. After that, we will have two executives of a major feed manufacturer from Ecuador and a major feed manufacturer from Asia reflect on regional differences in feed manufacturing trends and challenges, and how they look at the future.
After the lunch break, we will then look at the feed ingredient landscape. First, ASC will tell more about the rationale of its feed standard and the implications that it will have for feed manufacturers supplying ASC-certified producers. Then we will listen to updates about the marine ingredient and the plant-based ingredient supply situations and the challenges or implications they foresee for feed companies that need to comply with the ASC feed standard or other upcoming regulations.
The last part of the session will focus on three innovation showcases related to the feed manufacturing landscape. We will look at the extent of adoption of smart automated feeding solutions and the differences in adoption between Latin America and Asia. We will look at how single-cell protein production is being scaled and when these ingredients will become available to the shrimp industry at scale. And we will look at fish-free shrimp feed formulations and whether it's likely that these types of formulations ever become competitive in the mainstream market.
