The residual biomass from algae oil processing can be used as an alternative high-grade protein source for aquaculture and livestock feed. Comprehensive analyses and nutritional studies have shown that these algal proteins are of high quality and comparable to conventional vegetable proteins.
With the advent of Cellana’s novel technology for growing algae, the potential to fill the “protein gap” in animal feed with algae by-products is real and provides additional economic incentive for technology adoption.
Fish Feed
Residual biomass from algae oil processing has been tested as a substitute for commercial fish feed. The image below shows the result of carp grown on algae meal instead of fishmeal ( source: Bodo University, DOE Webinar September 8, 2010).
Livestock Feed
Cellana can also use its patented technology to enable the large-scale production of livestock feed.
