Fora Allera 2024 - recap
A significant milestone in the history of the Aller Aqua Group highlighted the theme of both events. As 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of our aquaculture feed production. Thus, both events were kicked off by a brief review of the Group's activities throughout that span of time, focusing on the experience gained and knowledge shared, which our esteemed farmers have been an integral part of.
At Forum Allerum Trout, Dr Florian Nagel, representing Aller Aqua Research and Development, presented not just the latest findings but the most relevant and practical ones related to raw materials, feed formulation, feeding programmes and the importance of choosing the right feed for fillet pigmentation. It was our way of ensuring that farmers are always at the forefront of the scientific advancements in the world of aquaculture.
At Forum Aller Carp, a guest speaker, dr Piotr Elijasik from the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, shared his insight into fish health, biome analysis and the significance of functional feeds, which aid in fish health and ensure proper growth and lower mortality in different seasons.
Last but not least, Forum Allerum Trout also included a presentation by Grzegorz Mech, Business Development Manager at GFK Group, related to the FMCG market situation in 2023, mainly customer behaviour and trends relating to the purchase of fish products, with particular emphasis put on trout in all available forms.
Then again, Forum Allerum Carp took on a different approach. Robert Idzikowski, Aller Aqua Poland's sales representative and carp market specialist, presented news related to shortening the carp production cycle from three to two years using premium feeds developed by Aller Aqua.
The cherry on top was the announcement of the Polish version of 'The Field Guide to Feeding Fish', written by dr Andras Woynarovich in cooperation with Aller Aqua. The printed version in Polish will be distributed to all attendees very soon.
Both events were not just about sharing knowledge and insights but also about strengthening the bond between Aller Aqua and our farmers. The high attendance and the heated discussions that culminated the events were a testament to our strong relationship. Your active participation and engagement elevated the moods and made the future look even brighter for all of us, as we continue to grow together with Aller Aqua!
