Animal nutrition company Alltech Coppens continues to increase its footprint in the global aquaculture industry with projects that go beyond studies traditionally carried out by the firm, including the emerging land-based salmon farming sector.

The company recently announced its research site Alltech Coppens Aqua Centre (ACAC) became the fourth Bioscience Center in Alltech’s research group, something that will allow it to expand its reach in the aquafeed sector to new markets and species.

With the ACAC site, Alltech Coppens will expand to work with more outsourced data through collaboration with different research partners working in aquaculture around the world with five strategic research alliances already in place.
