oils in salmon

Alianza Team has more than 75 years of experience with lipid blends and custom formulations sourced from various sustainable plant-based origins, delivering nutritional benefits.

While alternative proteins now constitute 50% of the feed supplied to salmon, integrating nutritional plant-based components into fish diets remains a significant challenge for the Chilean fish industry. Producers strive to provide fish with high nutritional value through their feed while ensuring the sustainability of the ingredients they use.

Over the past three decades, fish feeds have transitioned from being primarily marine-based to predominantly plant-based. In this context, vegetable oils have gained substantial prominence, contributing to nearly 20% of the feed content for salmonids.

Presently, thanks to a deep understanding of lipids, we recognize the pivotal role of vegetable oil formulations in salmonid diets. Substituting fish oil with vegetable oils could potentially compromise the nutritional quality of sea products for human consumption, as well as impact fish health and well-being.

At Alianza Team  —ranked as the 21st sustainable food company globally— our over 75 years of experience empower us to contribute to the creation of sustainable salmon diets. We achieve this through the careful characterization of vegetable oils and their effects. Rooted in scientific knowledge and expertise, we aim to supply the salmonid industry with lipid blends and tailor-made formulations sourced from diverse sustainable plant-based origins, delivering nutritional advantages for fish.

As part of our commitment to sustainability and our goal of generating value for both the industry and the planet, we have joined Red Pacto Global in Chile. We utilize 100% renewable energy in our local operations in that country, employ satellite monitoring for traceability and transparency in the palm supply chain, and collaborate with suppliers to promote regenerative agricultural practices. These practices, founded on holistic agricultural principles, positively impact soils, watersheds, ecosystem services, and communities.
