As global demand for sustainable animal protein continues to rise, the search for alternative feed ingredients is becoming increasingly urgent, particularly in regions prioritising food security and economic growth. This presentation will explore the untapped potential of Artemia biomass as a valuable component in farmed animal feed, highlighting both emerging opportunities in Africa and broader applications globally. Once limited to hatchery use, Artemia is now gaining recognition as a high-quality, multifunctional feed ingredient with applications far beyond its conventional role as live feed in aquaculture hatcheries. High in protein, essential lipids, and bioactive compounds, Artemia presents a viable solution for reducing dependence on fish meal, while also enhancing animal health through its natural nutraceutical properties. Its inclusion in feed has shown potential to improve growth performance, immunity, and feed efficiency in aquaculture and other animal production systems. We will explore how Artemia-based feeds can support low-cost, circular feed solutions, particularly in Africa, where feed costs, supply chain challenges, and environmental pressures are key concerns. By utilising local production systems and integrating waste-to-feed models, Artemia offers a low ecological footprint and a pathway toward resilient, localised feed value chains. Here, we will highlight case studies, production models, and investment strategies for incorporating Artemia into feed strategies across different regions. We will also offer valuable insights for stakeholders across policy, industry, and research, highlighting how Artemia can play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable animal feeds, both in Africa and globally.
