Functional feed ingredients for global aquaculture
Arctic Feed identifies, documents and markets functional feed ingredients, for example, ingredients that have a demonstrable positive effect on the health, welfare or product quality of production animals.
We look for ingredients that have proved useful in terrestrial animals and test whether they can also be useful for fish or shrimp in farming. In addition, we market selected ingredients with complete documentation for complete assurance.
Our main customers are global feed industry for aquaculture, and fully integrated fish farming companies.
Before aquaculture feed companies purchase any new ingredients, they have requirements for ingredient data sheets and verified documentation. This can be a demanding challenge for micro-ingredients innovators.
From our experience in the sector, we have established a pre-defined R&D framework agreement with selected institutions and companies within the industry, that allows us to fast-track micro-ingredients to market.

Arctic Feed contributes to sustainable farming by facilitating the production of more fish with feed containing sustainable raw materials, rather than raw materials from endangered wild fish stocks or human food sources.
Increased farming and decreased taxation of wild fish stocks help to increase the supply of sustainable food for a growing population.
Our mission is directly linked to the United Nations Sustainability Goals by working to satisfy today’s needs without destroying or degrading the opportunities of future generations.
