Building on the success of Essential Nitrogen, we are introducing the second phase: Effective Energy. This phase integrates the Essential Nitrogen concept into a comprehensive system that combines tank data, commercial data, and formulation data. By leveraging Cargill’s collective knowledge and learning from its knowledge across different species, we are able to refine our approach, ensuring even greater precision and efficiency in our formulations. The result is a robust nutrition physiology engine capable of generating customized nutritional plans for virtually every farming site and stocking condition.

Effective Energy builds on the insights gained from tank trials conducted in the Essential Nitrogen phase. While these trials provided the understanding of the nutritional physiology foundations and how the new nutrients (i.e., Essential Nitrogen) are expected to be utilized by fish, they did not fully represent the diverse conditions of commercial farming. Effective Energy overcomes this by incorporating real-world commercial data, allowing us to fine-tune our nutritional physiology engine to tailor to specific farming locations, stocking seasons, life stages, and economic constraints such as raw material prices. Furthermore, our fully integrated, end-to-end scenario planning tools enable us to simulate various farming scenarios and customize nutritional plans to support greater efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, we continue to build fully integrated scenario planning and decision-making tools, continuously improved and adapted to ever-changing circumstances, ensuring that our innovations are both practical and effective. Ultimately, we want to be our customers’ trusted advisor, and this system helps us elevate our support to the next level.

This holistic approach means that our customers will benefit from nutritional plans tailored to their unique conditions. Whether it’s the geographical location of a farm, the specific size of the fish, or the economic context, our solution adjusts to deliver performance outcomes. This level of customization ensures that our feeds not only support fish growth and health but are also capable of enhancing the overall sustainability and profitability of salmon farming operations.
