Aquaculture

Advancing our world-leading eMERGE™ soy protein germplasm through our CropOS® predictive breeding platform, Benson Hill is leading AI-driven seed innovation utilizing proprietary genetics.

Benson Hill Soy Ingredients for aquaculture

A sustainable, effective protein ingredient

Benson Hill leverages natural genetic diversity in soy to create ingredients uniquely suited to the aquaculture industry. With up to 20% higher protein and lower oligosaccharides than conventional soy and unique, low-carbon benefits, Benson Hill’s Ultra High-Protein Low-Oligosaccharide Soy (UHP-LO) is an ingredient that will check the box for your company’s Procurement, Nutrition, and Sustainability goals.

Value

Meet a novel feed ingredient that fits into your ration: Benson Hill UHP-LO Soy offers aquafeed formulators an affordable, scalable alternative to concentrated protein ingredients such as Soy Protein Concentrate (SPC).1

Performance

In a feeding study of post-smolt Atlantic Salmon, Benson Hill UHPLO Soy maintained equivalent performance to an SPC-based diet, even at high inclusion levels. Benson Hill UHPLO Soy was also found to have strong performance in trout, marine finfish, and shrimp.2

Feed Conversion Ratio
Sustainability

Benson Hill UHPLO Soy is made exclusively from Benson Hill® Ultra-High Protein, Low-Oligosaccharide soybeans so protein is concentrated up-front in the bean, requiring less processing to achieve similar protein levels as SPC.

The removal of this processing step creates a reduction of carbon emissions and water use, enabling feed formulators to deliver on carbon reduction commitments.

When not considering the impact of land use change, Benson Hill UHPLO Soy can require up to 90% less water and up to 88% less CO2e to produce compared to Brazilian-sourced SPC.1

Be part of the Innovation

Benson Hill High Protein non-GMO soybeans not only have the potential to transform your business, they are a key ingredient in transforming our food system.

Using CropOS® technology, we can unlock the genetic diversity of plants in ways that increase key attributes like protein and high oleic oil while still maintaining healthy yields.

Because these soybeans are higher in protein right out of the ground, they can reduce energy intensive ingredient and food processing steps, saving water and reducing CO2e.
