Cargill has launched two new salmon feeds, EWOS SOLID and EWOS EXTRA, which the company says are important parts of a grower feed program based on the EWOS COMPASS biological model for designing the optimal feed.
The EWOS COMPASS model takes into consideration temperature, geography, season, salmon prices and raw material prices. The feeds are available exclusively in Norway and help ensure that customers receive the optimal feed for their location and production strategy.
“We launched RAPID two years ago and are now taking the next, natural step by using COMPASS to improve our whole portfolio of growth feed,” says Synne Marte Andersen, product manager grower feed.
“The feedback on RAPID has been outstanding. It has not just delivered the growth rates we promised, it has also exceeded expectations. That's proof that EWOS COMPASS works,” says Ms Andersen.
She said that there is a need for new grower feeds in the market in order to meet customers' different requirements and production strategies, which is why customers are being given more freedom to select feeds based on their own needs and challenges.
EWOS SOLID is an effective feed for good growth and healthy fish and is designed to give the smallest production cost per kilo fish, and has high focus on use of cost effective raw materials.
EWOS EXTRA is a high-performance feed that shortens the production time. The feed is composed of modern raw materials that are sustainable and less subject to big price fluctuations, while being optimised and produced to take account for faster growth.
