From 10–13 November 2026, the global animal production industry will meet in Hannover, Germany, for EuroTier 2026, one of the world’s leading events for livestock production and management.

As producers and feed manufacturers face increasing pressure to control costs, improve sustainability and maintain animal performance, innovation in animal nutrition has become a key area of focus.

At EuroTier 2026, Ocean Harvest Technology will showcase its OceanFeed™ portfolio of sustainable macroalgae-based feed ingredients, demonstrating how marine bioactives can support digestive health, feed utilisation and animal resilience across multiple species.

From Seaweed to Performance: Rethinking Feed Efficiency with OceanFeed™

Harnessing marine bioactives for modern animal production

Feed efficiency remains one of the main drivers of profitability in livestock production. However, today’s challenges require more than maximising output: animals must maintain performance under nutritional, environmental and health pressures.

This is changing the role of animal nutrition. Beyond providing nutrients, feeding strategies increasingly focus on supporting gut health, microbiota balance and natural resilience.

This is where seaweed-based solutions offer new opportunities.

The power of marine bioactives

Seaweeds naturally contain functional compounds such as prebiotic fibres, polysaccharides, minerals and polyphenols, which can contribute to intestinal balance, nutrient utilisation and animal resilience.

However, not all seaweeds provide the same benefits. Different macroalgae species contain different bioactive profiles, which is why Ocean Harvest Technology has spent more than 20 years researching how to combine these properties into functional feed solutions.

The result is OceanFeed™, a proprietary blend of sustainably harvested macroalgae designed to deliver a broader spectrum of natural compounds than single-species seaweed ingredients.

A multi-seaweed approach for modern animal production

OceanFeed™ has been developed by combining different macroalgae sources, allowing Ocean Harvest Technology to capture the complementary properties of multiple seaweed species within a single feed ingredient.

This innovative approach provides a diverse range of naturally occurring functional compounds, helping nutritionists formulate diets that support animal health, performance and resilience.

Supporting gut health and feed utilisation

The gastrointestinal tract plays a central role in animal performance. When digestive function is compromised, nutrient utilisation decreases and feed investment becomes less efficient.

The natural fibres and bioactive compounds in OceanFeed™ are designed to support beneficial intestinal bacteria, digestive balance and nutrient utilisation.

The goal is not simply to add another ingredient to the diet, but to increase the value obtained from the complete feeding programme.

From biological performance to economic value

Feed represents one of the largest costs in animal production. Therefore, improvements in feed utilisation, productivity and consistency can have a significant economic impact.

OceanFeed™ has been evaluated in research and commercial trials across poultry, swine, ruminants and aquaculture.

Across species, the objective remains the same: helping animals convert nutritional investment into more consistent productive results.

Sustainability without compromising performance

Sustainable production depends on efficiency. Improving how animals use available resources helps reduce the environmental impact associated with every kilogram of meat, litre of milk or egg produced.

OceanFeed™ is produced from sustainably harvested whole macroalgae, minimally processed to preserve its natural matrix of fibres and bioactive compounds.

The products are GMO-free and manufactured under strict quality and traceability standards, providing feed manufacturers and producers with a natural ingredient that fits modern sustainability goals.

Discover OceanFeed™ at EuroTier 2026

As animal production continues to evolve towards greater efficiency, resilience and sustainability, marine-based functional ingredients are creating new opportunities for feed formulation.

At EuroTier 2026, Ocean Harvest Technology will showcase how OceanFeed™ seaweed blends can support feed manufacturers, nutritionists, integrators and producers in developing more efficient and sustainable feeding strategies.

Visitors will be able to explore the OceanFeed™ portfolio, discover applications across different animal species and discuss how seaweed-based nutrition can be incorporated into their own feeding strategies.
