As ORIVO proudly celebrates its 10-year anniversary, we reflect on the incredible journey we’ve introducing innovative verification services to the aquaculture feed industry through. This would not be possible without the support and collaboration of key partners, and today, we want to shine a spotlight on Biomar’s pioneering role. The Danish feed producer´s early adoption of ORIVO’s services has profoundly impacted the industry and is setting a new standard for transparency.

A Vision for Quality and Sustainability

From the outset, Biomar has demonstrated a visionary approach to aquaculture feed. Recognizing the growing importance of sustainable practices, they were the first aquaculture feed producer to embrace ORIVO’s cutting-edge verification services. This forward-thinking mindset has allowed them to ensure the authenticity of their feed ingredients, fostering trust among consumers and stakeholders alike.

The Genesis of Our Collaboration

The collaboration between Biomar and ORIVO began in 2017 when Biomar joined us in a research project funded by the Norwegian Research Council where the goal was to develop a DNA-analysis technology more precise than what was available at that time. This initiative laid the groundwork for what would become a transformative partnership. By 2018, we transitioned to a commercial collaboration, working closely together while continuously developing our technology through new research projects. This synergy has allowed us to address the evolving needs of the aquaculture industry effectively.

Global Sustainability Director at Biomar, Vidar Gundersen, shares his insights about why they value ORIVO´s serveces: “Using ORIVO’s services allows us to ensure the authenticity of our feed ingredients.
