Thorne-based animals feeds manufacturer World Feeds have been awarded Judge’s Special Recognition prize at this year’s Aquaculture Awards, held in Inverness.
The company’s has a particular specialism in aquatic nutrition and fish diets, and its products are used in major aquariums all over the globe.
The company was specifically commended for its unique VAF Feed Blocks, which have had a hugely positive effect on fish husbandry, health and welfare — being embraced across Scotland by all major salmon producers. They are now also undergoing extensive trials in Norway, with major opportunities developing in the region, as well as in Canada.
Determined to continue modernising, World Feeds says a number of other exciting projects are in the pipeline. Next up, they will be looking at the hatchery stage, with larval and broodstock diets on the horizon.
A spokesperson for World Feeds said: “Being recognised for the impact we’ve made in the industry is an honour. We wish to thank our global clients and partners for all their collaboration and support!”
