Why SPC Is Becoming the Gold Standard in Aquafeed Formulation

Are you still relying on traditional protein sources like fishmeal or soybean meal for your aquafeed formulations? If so, you might be missing out on a scientifically backed opportunity to boost growth rates, reduce mortality, and improve feed efficiency—without compromising animal health.

High-protein concentrated soy protein (SPC) is emerging as a game-changer in aquatic nutrition. With over 70% crude protein content and minimal anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors and phytates, SPC offers superior digestibility compared to conventional alternatives.

Dr. Lena Müller, Feed Nutrition Researcher at Wageningen University: "In our controlled trials with Atlantic salmon, replacing 30% of fishmeal with SPC led to a 12% increase in average daily gain and a 9% reduction in feed conversion ratio (FCR)."

Real-World Data Shows Real Results

These numbers aren’t just impressive—they’re actionable. The improved gut health from SPC’s high digestibility supports better nutrient absorption, while its low anti-nutrient profile reduces stress on the intestinal lining and boosts immune function.

How Quality Matters: It Starts at the Source

What many feed manufacturers overlook is that even the best formulation fails if the raw material lacks consistency. That’s where our SPC equipment comes in: each batch meets or exceeds 70% protein content, ensuring reliable performance across production runs—from small-scale hatcheries to large commercial farms.

Our proprietary extraction process removes impurities without denaturing proteins, preserving amino acid balance and minimizing variability—a critical factor when scaling up operations globally.

Common Questions from Feed Producers

• What’s the ideal SPC inclusion rate? Typically 15–30% depending on species and life stage—start lower and adjust based on trial results.
• Is it palatable for all fish types? Yes—with minor adjustments in pellet texture and binding agents, most species show strong acceptance.
• How should I store SPC? Keep in dry, cool conditions (<25°C), away from moisture. Shelf life is typically 12 months unopened.

Whether you're optimizing existing formulas or launching new premium feeds, integrating SPC isn’t just about improving metrics—it’s about building trust with your customers through measurable outcomes.
