Customer video: Why OceanLoop selected insect meal for sustainable aquaculture feed

Curious why OceanLoop Group is betting on insect-based feed for aquaculture? In this video, CTO Bert Wecker joins Protix's aquaculture expert Michel van Spankeren at the Seafood Global Expo 2024 to share his thoughts.

“We see high potential in insect meal because it’s a really sustainable raw material,” Bert explains. We’ve seen that feed is really important for the carbon footprint of aquaculture. Insect ingredients are a local, eco-friendly raw material. That’s why we implemented insect meal, says Bert.

Oceanloop Group explores insect ingredients not only for sustainability but also for strong performance benefits. The company has formulated feed with a 10% inclusion rate of insect meal, achieving impressive results.

For Bert, the benefits are clear: “Feed producers need to move toward local raw materials – not just for sustainability but also for supply chain resilience. The time is now.”
