ANIMAL FEED

The Canadian trial builds on Terragen’s success in its home market in Australia, where research has demonstrated the benefits of its biological products.

The company’s feed division, Mowi Feed, also reported record earnings and its second-highest sales volumes.

Feedlot operators have concerns about high feed costs, limited access to affordable financing, and logistical bottlenecks that drive up production costs.

The report highlights that subsidised production of beef, soy (for animal feed), and palm oil drives roughly 14% of global deforestation.

The boost in animal feed shipments has come even as raw grain exports slowed due to China’s customs restrictions.

The commercial rollout follows the completion of NRGene Canada’s Saskatoon-based BSF production facility in January 2025.

The acquisition represents an annual volume transfer of around 80,000 tons of compound feed.

This program is also being implemented in Nyeri and Migori counties to promote resilient, nutrition-sensitive aquaculture systems across Kenya.

Unlike fish oil, which depends on harvesting wild fish, algae can be cultivated in controlled indoor fermentation systems using renewable energy.

Researchers urge investment in alternative ingredients such as microbial, algal, insect-based, and next-generation plant proteins.
