Nutreco : 

Nutreco The World Leader in Fish Feed

Slide 2: 

Nutreco Founded in 1953 (animal feed producer) ST HERVE FONTAINE LES VERVINS Head office Laboratory Nutreco produced approximately 1.3 million tonnes of fish feed in 2010 of which about 72% was feeds for salmon and seawater trout. The remaining 28% represents among other feeds for freshwater carp, eel, sea bream, sea bass, mearge, sturgeon, yellowtail, catfish, barramundi, turbot, halibut cod, tilapia and shrimp.

Slide 3: 

Nutreco has 20 fish feed factories in Australia, Canada, Chile, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, Spain, Turkey, the UK, the USA, and Vietnam and a dedicated R&D centre in Norway. In addition to these plants, the joint venture Fri-Ribe also provides feed for shrimp and tilapia through its five plants in Brazil. Nutreco’s fish feed business has business units on five continents producing fish feed in 14 countries with sales in over 40 countries. Nutreco produces and delivers high quality sustainable feeds from hatching to harvest for more than 50 species of farmed fish. All grower feeds have the underlying drive to deliver the lowest feed cost per kilogram of excellent quality fish produced. Global experience combined with a world-class aquaculture research centre positions as the world leader in fish feed.

Production technology : 

Our commitment to R&D is fulfilled through the running of eight research centres focusing on various aspects of Nutreco activities. Although these are located in four countries – the Netherlands, Spain, Canada and Norway - there is extensive interchange of ideas and knowledge between them to capture synergies and avoid duplicated effort. We have research centres that focus on the nutrition, health and husbandry of pigs, poultry, rabbits, ruminants, calves and fish. Other research activities are directed to ingredient assessment And improving feed production technology; we have pilot-scale feed production plants in the Netherlands, Norway and Spain. In addition, we conduct R&D to advance our knowledge of food production. Between them, these centres employ 150 people. Nutreco laboratories in the Netherlands, Spain, Canada and Norway support our research activities. Production technology
