As the fourth most-produced oilseed meal globally, sunflower seed meal offers a strong balance of nutritional quality, affordability, and sustainability that supports the evolving needs of fish and shrimp producers.
Produced as a by-product of sunflower oil extraction mainly from crops grown in Argentina and Europe, it provides a robust nutrient profile, including:
• Protein levels ranging from 14% to 50%, depending on dehulling
• High digestibility, outperforming many other vegetable proteins
• Healthy fats for added dietary energy
• Vitamins E, B1, and B6
• Natural antioxidant compounds
• Essential minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and zinc
Because sunflower meals are highly digestible, more of the nutrients are absorbed rather than lost as waste, supporting better feed efficiency and contributing to cleaner production systems
Beyond nutrition, sunflower seed meal brings several practical benefits to feed production and fish performance:
• Supports gut health at moderate inclusion levels
• Improves pellet stability due to its natural fiber content
• Provides antioxidant activity from phenolic compounds
• Delivers strong mineral density thanks to deep-rooted sunflower plants
Consistency is another key strength. As an oil-extraction by-product, sunflower meals have a predictable composition and are easy to incorporate into balanced diets. Its favorable amino-acid profile especially its relatively high methionine compared to other plant proteins, makes it a useful complement in plant-forward formulations.
Sunflower meals also contribute to more sustainable aquaculture. It reduces reliance on marine ingredients, has a low carbon footprint compared to animal-based proteins, and repurposes a by-product that would otherwise have limited applications. Sunflower crops can also be grown within regenerative systems that improve soil health, biodiversity, and reduce chemical use.
Our integrated traceability process ensures full visibility across the entire chain, covering the growing regions and agricultural conditions, the oil-extraction procedures, all transportation and storage steps, and the final feed manufacturing and batch usage.
Sunflower seed meals are widely available on the global market and benefits from stable production volumes, making it a dependable, low-volatility ingredient for feed manufacturers.

UdforskWheat Gluten: A reliable protein and binder for fish feed
Wheat gluten is a common ingredient in modern aquaculture diets, valued for a combination of nutritional and functional advantages. It isn’t a magic ingredient, but it consistently supports efficient feed production and healthy fish growth. One of its best-known traits is its strong binding ability earning it the occasional nickname “super glue.” This natural binding property allows many feed mills to reduce or even eliminate synthetic binders.

UdforskThe jet platform – efficient and simple oxygen enrichment
The oxygen content of the water is often the most prominent limiting factor in intensive fish farming. It is a well-known fact that poor oxygen content means that it is not possible to utilise the full potential of both the fish and the feed. A jet platform is an example of an efficient and yet simple mechanical method for oxygen enrichment of water.
