Unveiling the Impact of Feed on Salmon and Chicken Farming: A Closer Look at Their Carbon Footprint

Discover the hidden carbon footprint of salmon and chicken farming: Unveil the impact of feed on their sustainability with the new study from the University of Washington.
A new study from researchers at the University of Washington has unveiled the impact of feed on salmon and chicken farming on their carbon footprints. The findings are expected to have a major impact on the sustainability of both industries. The research team studied the carbon footprint of salmon and chicken feed, taking into account the production of feed ingredients, their transport and processing, and their use in salmon and chicken farming operations. The results showed that feed is responsible for up to 40 percent of the carbon emissions associated with salmon farming and up to 60 percent of the emissions associated with chicken farming. The team also found that the carbon footprint of salmon feed is much higher than that of chicken feed due to the use of fishmeal in salmon feed. Fishmeal is a protein-rich feed ingredient made from fish, which is more carbon-intensive than plant-based feed ingredients used in chicken feed. The study provides valuable insight into the sustainability of both industries and could help inform future decisions about feed ingredients. The researchers suggest that switching to more sustainable feed ingredients, such as plant-based proteins, could significantly reduce the carbon footprint of both salmon and chicken farming. The study was published in the journal Nature Sustainability.
