Skretting’s latest innovation is AmiNova, a new feed formulation concept that brings an even greater level of precision to fish nutrition. Proteins are essential for fish nutrition. Individual proteins are made of a unique balance of amino acids, each providing a specific function in fish nutrition. Traditionally, aquaculture feeds have been formulated based on crude protein and, subsequently, on digestible protein.

| The first AmiNova-formulated feed will be available in the Chilean salmonid market in Q3 2024, with more species and countries to follow in 2025. |
With AmiNova, Skrettting is introducing a new way of formulating, based on an ideal digestible amino acid profile. By evaluating the total amino acid level that is effectively ingested by the fish and removing the unnecessary excess, the nutritional needs of fish are met with increased precision and efficiency.

“R&D results have shown that, with AmiNova, the fish are able to retain nutrients in a more efficient way, while maintaining performance. Our trials with salmon and trout have shown a significant reduction in nitrogen discharge into the farm environment,” says Ramón Fontanillas, Principal Researcher Shrimp and Warm Water Species Nutrition, Skretting Aquaculture Innovation.
