• Regulation marks the first-ever EU registration of a chromium-containing zootechnical additive for fish.
Zinpro® Corporation, the world’s leading innovator and manufacturer of high-performance organic trace minerals and animal nutrition solutions, proudly announces the official European Commission approval of Zinpro® Availa® Cr, a chromium methionine nutrition solution for use in salmonids.
This approval positions Zinpro as the first company to bring chromium to the EU animal nutrition market, reinforcing its leading position as an innovator in trace minerals and animal health. As the pioneer in this segment, Zinpro is driving momentum and opening new opportunities for expanding chromium nutrition to other aquatic species and regions.
Scientific Validation: EFSA Endorsement and Research-backed Innovation
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has issued a positive opinion confirming the safety and efficacy of chromium methionine. Robust scientific trials demonstrated significant improvements in growth performance, feed utilization and nutrient retention in Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout. These activities will further educate the industry and support adoption of chromium nutrition in aquaculture.
Zinpro Global Aquaculture Technical Services Nutritionist Dr. Claudia Silva led the scientific trials to obtain the approval. “We knew chromium methionine had the potential to transform aquaculture nutrition. The data we generated not only proved its efficacy but also its sustainability benefits,” said Silva.
Benefits Across the Aquaculture Value Chain
“Feed efficiency is key to sustainable and profitable farming, but aquatic animals often struggle to convert carbohydrates, the most affordable energy source, into growth,” said Cinzia Boggino, Zinpro Global Aquaculture business development manager. “Zinpro® Chromium Methionine helps solve this challenge by improving how fish use glucose and retain nutrients for performance, reducing their reliance on expensive protein ingredients.”
This breakthrough allows nutritionists to create more flexible, cost-effective diets that support animal health, reduce waste and lower environmental impact in support of advancing sustainability while fueling industry growth.
