General information

Innovation ID426
Version ID193
Innovation TitleDatabase of the nutrient composition of locally available ingredients for low-cost fish feed formulation in Africa and Asia
Innovation description This database presents the nutrient composition of selected locally available ingredients, which can be used by feed manufacturers to formulate low-cost, sustainable aquafeeds in Africa and Asia. The database will be expanded to include information on the digestibility of macro and micro-nutrients for accurate feed formulation.

Stage reached

Stage of InnovationStage 2: successful piloting
Year (Stage)2020
Stage DescriptionFollowing ingredient survey conducted in Myanmar, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Egypt, Nigeria and Zambia, the nutrient composition and digestibility of 10 selected sustainable ingredients have been tested. This information will be available to the public through an open access database and use to train feed millers in 2021.
