The analytical tests to detect antibiotic residue are too stringent, Indian shrimp producers say. The US FDA refused to allow 26 types of shrimp products from India into the US in January for banned antibiotics. It had refused 27 shipments in 2017 and 2018. The US is the largest market for Indian shrimp exporters and accounts for about one-third of seafood exports from India.

—Evonik makes amino acid for shrimp “” Farm-raised shrimp and other crustaceans will soon have a feed additive manufactured just for them. In Antwerp, Belgium, Evonik Industries has started up the world’s first plant to produce a dipeptide of two methionine molecules. The specialty amino acids allow fish farmers to use smaller quantities of pricey fish meal, making aquaculture more efficient and sustainable, the company says.

Pound for pound, Aquavi Met-Met has proven to be twice as effective at supporting shrimp growth as traditional methionine in feed, Kobler says. In a recent trial commissioned by Evonik and conducted by the South China Sea Fisheries Research Institute, adding Aquavi Met-Met to shrimp feed at a concentration of 0.09% allowed wild fish content to be cut from 26% to 10% with no adverse effect on shrimp growth.

—Evonik Sets Facility For Novel Methionine “” Evonik Industries will spend tens of millions of dollars to build a plant in Antwerp, Belgium, that makes a new form of the feed additive methionine for use in farming shrimp and other crustaceans. Set to open in late 2015, the facility will produce a dipeptide made up of two dl -methionine molecules. Because the dipeptide is less water soluble than the single amino acid, less of it dissolves and is lost while shrimp chew on their feed, Evonik says. Only 1.0 kg of the dipeptide is needed to achieve the shrimp growth provided by 1.8 kg of standard methionine, the firm claims. /articles/92/i12/Evonik-Sets-Facility-Novel-Methionine.html 20140324 Concentrates 92 12 /magazine/92/09212.html Evonik Sets Facility For Novel Methionine aquaculture, shrimp, methionine, amino acids con bus Michael McCoy business Evonik Sets Facility For Novel Methionine Chemical & Engineering News Evonik Sets Facility For Novel Methionine Evonik Sets Facility For Novel Methionine
