Background

Problem

Common carp is the predominant species in both countries.

The CVD mortalities are over 50% in both countries.

The per capita fish meat consumption in Serbia and Hungary is around 5 kg, being among the lowest in Europe.

Consumption of fish meat rich in ω-3 and ω-6 fatty decreases CVD mortality rates. Increase in production and

consumption of carp meat with improved quality will lower the risk of CVD.

Activity plan – Novi Sad/Szeged

Activity 1: Development of fish feed formulations

Activity 2: Parameters of feed technological processing

PILOT PLANT OF FEED-TO- FOOD CENTER

AT THE INSTITUTE OF FOOD

TECHNOLOGY

Activity plan – Novi Sad

Activity 3: Fish feed quality - chemical assessment• physical properties• chemical composition and • fatty acid content

Activity 4: Feed performance in fish feeding trialsThe efficiency of new feeds will be tested in feeding trial with common carp.

Activity plan – Novi Sad/Szeged

HAKI CENTER

Activity 5: Fish meat quality – chemical assessment

- basic chemical composition and fatty acid profile of fish meat

Activity plan – Novi Sad/Szeged

Activity 7: Dissemination of results• lectures for pre-school and primary school educators and consumers

• workshops for agro-food sector

• leaflets

• web-portal: www.feed-pro-food.uns.ac.rs

Activity 6: Fish meat quality – biological assessment - feeding trials with mammalian model animals, i.e. rats.

- specific physiological effects (weight gain, blood pressure, heart rate and ex vivo platelet aggregation changes of rats)

Target groups

Target groups of this project are the role-players in feed-to-food chain:Feed manufacturers are a target group who will benefit from the

project by being provided with an high-quality,environmentally sustainable fish feed.

Another target group are fish producers, who will benefit by being able to offer healthier fish meat.

The main target group are end-users of fish meat, i.e. consumers. Consumer target sub-group is the one with cardiovascular deceases (CVD), who will benefit by lowering the risk of CVD development.

Newly developed floating feed will bring:

I Improved income/expense ratio, at least 10%

II Positive environmental effect

III Improved ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in carp meat - narrowing it to the marine fish ratio

Benefits

Fish producers:• faster fish growth• less feed spending• better health status

Feed producers:• increased turnover• higher demand for feed• shorter feeding circle
