Abstract

The article explores modern approaches to optimizing feed formulations for salmon and trout. It is shown that replacing fish meal with more accessible local agricultural by-products, such as meat and bone meal, beet meal, and others, can significantly reduce feed costs without negatively affecting fish growth and health. This also allows for diversification of the nutritional composition. The study analyzed the content of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals in the developed feed. The inclusion of the enzyme phytase improved nutrient digestibility and reduced phosphorus emissions into the aquatic environment. A 10-15% reduction in production costs confirms the economic viability of this approach. Additionally, the use of locally sourced raw materials decreases dependence on imported ingredients and supports sustainable and environmentally safe aquaculture development.
