Manufactured feeds are a significant part of the modern aquaculture industry. They provide the balanced nutrition needed by farm fish. The feeds are available in the form of granules or pellets and provide nutrition in a stable and concentrated form, enabling the fish to feed efficiently and grow up to their full potential.

Many of the fish brought up in farms around the world today are carnivorous, such as the Atlantic salmon, trout, sea bass, and turbot. In the early development of fish feeding, which has evolved into modern aquaculture, fishmeal, and fish oil were key components of the feeds for these species. They are combined with other ingredients such as vegetable proteins, cereal grains, vitamins, and minerals and made into feed pellets. Wheat, for example, is widely used as it helps to bind the ingredients in the pellets.

The growth of the caseinate market is mainly driven by factors such as population growth, rising disposable income, and rapid urbanization and is facilitated by the strong expansion of fish production and more efficient distribution channels. As for the restraints of the market, large-scale storage of the same for farms is still a problem, and the high costs are also a turn-off for the market. The industry has to come up with innovative solutions for these problems in order for the market to grow freely.
