“Rising Shift Toward Sustainable and Circular Protein Sources in Aquafeed”
- Blood meal is increasingly adopted as a sustainable protein source, helping reduce reliance on overfished marine ingredients such as fishmeal
- The use of blood meal supports circular economy models by upcycling slaughterhouse waste into valuable inputs for aquafeed formulations
- Aquafeed manufacturers are aligning with sustainability goals and regulatory pressures to cut environmental impact and carbon emissions
- Eco-conscious buyers are driving demand for feed products that incorporate ethical and traceable ingredients such as blood meal
- For instance, a 2022 Indonesian shrimp feed producer replaced 30% of fishmeal with blood meal to achieve eco-label certification and reduce supply chain costs
