Description

Aker BioMarine, a Norwegian company, has expanded its product line by introducing FloraMarine, an algae oil-based product, amidst growing demand for sustainable and alternative feed and food ingredients. The company has established a 100-metric-ton algae processing facility in Houston, with plans to scale up to 500 metric tons over the next 6-9 months.

Pathway Description:

The process for converting algae oil into pet food involves extracting and refining high-quality algae oil at Aker BioMarine's facility. The oil is then blended with other nutritional ingredients to meet the specific dietary requirements of pets. Advanced processing ensures the oil retains its essential fatty acids and nutrients for optimal health benefits. Finally, the product is incorporated into pet food formulations designed for palatability and efficacy.
