29 SUSTAINABILITY & ENVIRONMENT VALUE CREATION & QUALITY (VCQ) COMMUNITY TEAM MEMBERS NEWPORT SURIMI RESEARCH For Pacific Seafood, innovation doesn’t stop at creating new products for human consumption. Research spearheaded by Bing Brackeen, Category Manager in Warrenton (Pacific Bio Products), found previously disposed surimi “waste” can be successfully utilized for animal feed. Bing co-authored, “Evaluation of two types of ingredients from marine fish rest raw materials in broiler diets: effects on live performance and meat lipid composition,” published in the Journal of Applied Poultry Research. This study investigated the effect of feeding Pacific Surimi’s wastewater meal to chickens. A quantitative trial at OSU’s Poultry Research Center in Corvallis showed the material can be utilized as an animal feed ingredient for increasing animal performance (e.g., weight gain and feed conversion ratio), and enriching edible tissues with significant levels of healthful omega-3 fats. By discovering new uses for this raw material such as ingredients in pet food, animal feed, aquaculture feed, fermentation, and beauty products, it prevents additional waste from entering landfills.
