Creation of Organic Feed Formulations for Rural Pennsylvania Aquafarmers
January 01, 2009 | Agriculture
This research looked to develop feeds for high-market-value aquaculture species, using only organically certified protein sources as the primary components. The research identified sources of organic feed ingredients, formulated and produced two experimental feeds, confirmed that these organic formulations support healthy and economic cultures of rainbow trout, and conducted a market analysis of the demand for organic aquaculture
products in central and southeastern Pennsylvania. The results offer strong evidence that there are opportunities to use organic products to lead the expansion of aquaculture opportunities and businesses in rural Pennsylvania.
