Animal Feed & Aqua Feed
About 85 percent of the world’s soybeans are processed, or "crushed," annually into soybean meal and oil. Approximately 98 percent of the soybean meal that is crushed is further processed into animal feed with the balance used to make soy flour and proteins. Of the oil fraction, 95 percent is consumed as edible oil; the rest is used for industrial products such as fatty acids, soaps and biodiesel.
About 85 percent of the world’s soybean crop is processed into meal and vegetable oil, and virtually all of that meal is used in animal feed. Some two percent of the soybean meal is further processed into soy flours and proteins for food use.
Approximately six percent of soybeans are used directly as human food, mostly in Asia.

Animal feed in South Africa
Although almost any crop residue can be fed to livestock, the residues of maize, sugar cane, grain sorghum, soybean, wheat and vegetables are usually utilized in animal feeding.
The animal feed industry is an important client and role player in the grain value chain. Around 4 million tons of grain and 1,2 million tons of oil cake (from imported and locally produced sunflower and soya beans) are used by the animal feed manufacturing industry in South Africa. At present the national feed industry is estimated to be approximately 8,6 million tons with a monetary value of over R700,000 million per year.
The South African animal feed industry comprises two disparate groups - the formal and informal feed sectors. The formal manufacturing sector is represented by the Animal Feed Manufacturers Association (AFMA), and represents an estimated 60 percent of the country's total feed production. The remaining 40 percent of the production is represented by the informal sector.

THE FISH SPECIES OF SOUTH AFRICA
About 220 freshwater fishes occur in South Africa, of which 21 are threatened. There are more than 2 000 marine fish species, for which no information is available about threatened species. Many fish species are of economic importance. Most of the small barbels are valuable aquarium species, while the majority of the larger species are important angling species.
We have a nutrition balanced and enriched range of aquafeed for:
- TROUT
- TILAPIA
- MARRON
- CATFISH
