A practical solution that supports the shrimp’s resilience and continued growth under challenging conditions

Specially designed to support the resilience of shrimp facing challenging conditions and provide optimal nutrition to safeguard farm performance, this new, prime functional feed has debuted in India.

Shrimp farming is one of the great success stories of global aquaculture. Through its rapid growth in recent decades, the sector has taken a lead role in contributing to world food security. However, the dependency and constant interaction that shrimp have with their environment means that they are persistently exposed to naturally occurring challenges that hurt the shrimp and can potentially impact production. Recognising the scale of the threat posed by these challenges, Skretting has launched a brand new feed, Armis.

Historically, producers hit by challenges such as Enterocytozoon hepatopenai (EHP) and other parasites have had little option but to feed their afflicted, slow-growing stocks with increased volumes of feed. This in turn results in significantly increased costs and diminished profitability. Now, farmers can turn to Armis, a practical solution that supports the shrimp’s resilience and continued growth under challenging conditions.

Armis has been carefully developed over the past three years, built upon Skretting’s extensive knowledge of the specific nutritional requirements and digestive capabilities of shrimp species. It will also contain the latest phytogenic technology.

The collaboration aims to redefine the standards of aquaculture nutrition through the application of ORI-N3

In a significant leap forward for the aquaculture industry, Skretting, a global leader in aquafeed solutions and I&V Bio, a leading biotechnology company announce their strategic partnership to revolutionise artemia enrichment. 

Leveraging the innovative prowess of Skretting’s and I&V Bio industry expertise, the collaboration aims to redefine the standards of aquaculture nutrition through the application of ORI-N3, Skretting’s cutting-edge nutritional supplement in artemia enrichment.

Artemia, often referred to as brine shrimp, serves as a vital component in the early stages of various aquatic species’ life cycles. Ensuring the optimal nutrition of artemia is essential for the healthy growth and development of shrimp in aquaculture systems. Skretting and I&V Bio recognise the importance of this foundation and have joined forces to enhance the nutritional value of artemia using ORI-N3.

ORI-N3, developed by Skretting, is a revolutionary nutritional supplement enriched with essential proteins, lipids, and micronutrients. This advanced formula is specifically designed to boost the nutritional content of artemia, providing a balanced and comprehensive diet for early-stage aquatic species. With its unique composition, ORI-N3 ensures optimal growth rates, improved resistance to diseases, and enhanced overall health for shrimp.

The two companies are currently working on the next generation of halibut feed

Nordic Halibut has signed a three-year contract with halibut feed supplier Skretting. The agreed collaboration ensures stability and predictability for feed supply to cover the Company’s growth plan phase 1 of 4.500 tonnes of HOG production in 2026.

Nordic Halibut has worked closely with Skretting over several years to develop sustainable products with precise nutrition that are specialised for halibut. The two companies are currently working on the next generation of halibut feed.

We at Skretting are pleased about this long-term collaboration with Nordic Halibut. We have extensive experience with halibut feed, and now we will use our nutritional knowledge together with our extensive efforts for sustainability so that we can develop tomorrow’s halibut feed to be even more sustainable, says Martin Davidsen, sales manager at Skretting Norway

Nordic Halibut strives to sustain a high level of performance in the company’s ESG areas and to establish ambitious ESG targets to maintain sustainable production and local uplift communities. It is advantageous that the Skretting production facility is located at Averøy, near Nordic Halibut’s core production hub at Nordmøre contributing to minimising supply risk and reducing the environmental impact of transportation.

We believe that long-term cooperation is fundamental to achieving sustainable development. Working closely with Skretting will help us optimize the feed so that we can offer a premium quality product with a minimal footprint. Their ambitions in terms of quality and sustainability reflect ours. Therefore we choose to enter a new three-year partnership that ensures sufficient high-quality feed supply towards our production targets in 2026, says Edvard Henden CEO.
