(Animal Pharm)<\/p>\n<p>************************************<br \/>BRAKKE CONSULTING VIEWPOINT<\/p>\n<p>Last week I commented on the rise of AI and machine learning applications in animal health. The example that grabbed my attention was the press release from Aquabyte, a start-up that uses underwater stereoscopic cameras and machine learning algorithms to determine fish size, general health, and optimal feed quantities resulting in less waste, shorter time to market weight, and greater profitability. As I read that press release I remember thinking, that\u2019s great, what a fantastic tool, but what about feed quality? That\u2019s a big part of the equation as well.<\/p>\n<p>Well this week, right on cue, we have some really interesting announcements related to aquaculture, fish feed and disease prevention. Calysta announced it received a $30m investment from BP Ventures to expand production of FeedKind, a novel single cell protein that has demonstrated greater growth rates and increased feed efficacy from fish and crustacean feeds containing the protein. The use of FeedKind dramatically reduces the need for protein from conventional animal sources. Calstya says the single cell protein, composed of naturally occurring microorganisms is produced by natural gas fermentation, uses no arable land, very little water, and contains no animal protein. In other words, using this protein source contributes greatly to increased feed efficiency, lower cost of production, and greater profitability. This FeedKind production method may also come with the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly than conventional feed protein production and processing methods.<\/p>\n<p>In a similar vein, with a twist, Cargill and InnovaFeed announced they will co-market a fish feed containing insect protein. InnovaFeed uses the by-products of starch and sugar production to feed black soldier fly larvae. The larvae are processed later in the black soldier fly life cycle and the extracted oil and protein are used as a protein source in fish and other livestock feeds. This seems to fit, hand in glove, with the reports we\u2019ve all seen that tout insect protein as the protein of the future, with the potential to be a dominant protein source for a good portion of the Earth\u2019s growing population. Insect protein production may also be more environmentally friendly. I\u2019m in Cargill and InnovaFeed\u2019s corner on this one. Personally, I much prefer my food consuming insect protein rather than consuming it myself!<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, continuing with the aquaculture theme, I noted that 84% of the funding under the FDA Minor Uses\/Minor Species (MUMS) grants program was directed to aquaculture drug development projects aimed at reducing mortality in various finfish species. That is an astonishing percentage of the total allocation! The remainder was allocated to the very broad category of canine cancer. I wonder, with tongue somewhat firmly implanted in cheek, if there will ever come a day when the combination of increased production and decreased mortality makes finfish species no longer eligible for MUMS consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Mike McGinley<\/p>\n<p>**********************************<br \/>This electronic newsletter is the sole property of Brakke Consulting.<br \/>Any use of the contents herein should be approved by and appropriately attributed to Brakke Consulting.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Brakke Consulting&#8217;s services and syndicated studies, visit our website at www.brakkeconsulting.com.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_sidebar _builder_version=&#8221;3.25.2&#8243; area=&#8221;sidebar-1&#8243; text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;header_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;header_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;header_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=&#8221;body_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; body_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; body_text_shadow_vertical_length=&#8221;body_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; body_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; body_text_shadow_blur_strength=&#8221;body_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93&#8243; body_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; module_class=&#8221;divi_sidebar&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|0px||&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;border-right:none;&#8221; global_module=&#8221;26426&#8243; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*********************************** Not\u00edcias e notas sobre sa\u00fade animal da Brakke Consulting de 28 de junho de 2019 Copyright \u00a9 Brakke Consulting Editor: Lynn Fondon DVM MBA************************************NAS NOT\u00cdCIAS: Not\u00edcias da Brakke ConsultingRecrutamento de executivos servi\u00e7os not\u00edcias sobre ganhos General Mills (Blue Buffalo)Patterson outras not\u00edciasAdvocate by Pharma SupplyAgBiomeAgrilakesBayerBiovet PrivateBP VenturesCalystaCargillCarus Animal HealthCosmic PetCovetrusDiamond Pet CareElancoEthos Animal HealthEvonikHeart + PawHendrix GeneticsHyper PetInnovaFeedKemin NutrisuranceKindred BiosciencesLand O&#039;LakesMedi-ProductionsMiracleCorpNatura l Qu\u00edmica Pet &amp; HomePerdue AgriBusinessPet Supplies PlusRecombineticsRoyal Agrifirm GroupTailTraxAssocia\u00e7\u00e3o de Hospitais Veterin\u00e1riosVeterinary InsightsZoetis **** *******************************BRAKKE CONSULTINGRECRUTING ATRAV\u00c9S DE SERENDIPIDADE GERENCIADA Op\u00e7\u00e3o 1: Publicar um emprego.
