DHA Growth Limiting Factor? Sustainable fish oil alternative needed Supply challenges for fish oil increase price & environmental concern Except for El Niño events, global supply of fish oil has been stagnant at ~1.3 MMT best case scenario it is predicted to remain stable. Salmon feed utilizes 50% of the fish oil FAO: 25% of world s fish stocks are either overexploited or depleted, and 52% of the stocks are fully exploited Demand for food and supplemented Ω-3 is estimated to increase 10% by 2016 according to EuroMonitor Demand from the salmon feed industry is particularly strong with a projected increase of 55% from 2012 to 2020
That`s Why: DHA Natur Rich in DHA The need for DHA is increasing and the health benefits of Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) are accepted by nutritionally-conscious consumers ADM has dedicated a large production facility to the production of a novel, globally-competitive DHA source ADM s DHA Natur is a viable ingredient suitable to fulfill DHA requirements for all species, but it is most favorable for marine fish including salmonids

EPA and DHA Requirements Salmon and Humans Salmon have a requirement for EPA + DHA of 1% for optimum growth (NRC 2011 Table 6-1) BUT: A higher dietary inclusion is necessary for suitable deposition in fillet tissue to attain the WHO-recommended DHA intake* via one weekly serving of salmon (~ 6% EPA + DHA in dietary lipid fraction) *World Health Organization recommendation is 200-500 mg/day EPA+DHA
DHA Natur Genus Aurantiochytrium (formerly Schizochytrium) Microalgae unicellular heterotrophic species Vegetarian source of DHA with minimum 17% DHA ADM s technology allows heterotrophic algae to be produced more efficiently than phototrophic algae ADM has developed analytical method for accurate testing of DHA level in algae products
Product Specs DHA Natur is a dried algal biomass rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It is a highly concentrated, vegetarian source of DHA, an Omega-3 fatty acid, derived from algae through an efficient, controlled fermentation process that does not require light. ADM s microalgae-based technology allows heterotrophic algae to be produced efficiently.
