Cargill opens new fish nutrition research laboratory
(NORWAY, 7/4/2017)
Cargill has opened a USD 1.25 million aquaculture research lab in Dirdal, Norway, dedicated to developing new diets for the fish farming industry.
Representatives of the firm ensured the cutting-edge laboratory will bring together the best lab, nutrition and raw material knowledge of Cargill and EWOS.
The Dirdal lab was built on the Cargill (formerly EWOS) Innovation Center grounds, where research has been conducted for more than 30 years.
The new facility builds on Cargill's existing competence on fish nutrition research and leading analytical capabilities that has earned the company a global reputation as the innovator in the salmon feed industry.
The Dirdal lab joins facilities across the globe, including a USD 10.5 million fish health centre that opened in Chile less than 6 months ago.
"We are delighted to open our new laboratory in Dirdal. Having world-class laboratory capabilities sitting right next to our fish trial units and our feed processing research center will strengthen the performance of our products by giving us greater abilities to understand the interaction of raw materials, nutrients and feed manufacturing,” pointed out Daniel Barziza, Global Aqua R&D Director.
He also stressed that it will also enhance their raw material development work and build on their leading knowledge in this area, allowing them to accelerate their product development programs and introduce new solutions to market more quickly.
