According to her, Vimar does not pursue quality as a target to reach; instead, quality and reliability have been present from the beginning as non-negotiable components of the company’s identity. She noted that these values guide every internal and external process: production decision-making, quality assurance, distribution, partner relations and long-term business conduct. Baysan stated that commercial success has meaning only when end users receive the full benefit of the products they use, and that Vimar’s approach is shaped accordingly.

She further underlined that daily market fluctuations or short-term sector dynamics do not alter Vimar’s principles. The company’s internal discipline, she said, ensures that ethical conduct, transparent communication and stable quality standards remain constant regardless of economic conditions. For Baysan, the experience accumulated over 30 years is not merely a historical asset but a practical basis that supports every step the company continues to take.

Throughout her remarks, Baysan described Vimar’s work not just as product provision but as a long-term partnership with producers. She emphasized that the company’s value comes from ensuring users can derive consistent and measurable benefit from the solutions offered. In her view, the trust built over three decades reflects a shared understanding between Vimar and its partners — one sustained through steady principles rather than short-term initiatives.

Workshop Themes: Feed Transformation, Gut Health and Functional Components

The workshop’s technical sessions addressed the major shifts in fish feed formulation over the past twenty years. Speakers described the reduction of fishmeal and fish oil due to sustainability considerations and the resulting increase in plant-based proteins, circular raw materials and processing by-products. These changes were linked to their effects on intestinal microbiota, metabolite production and inflammation risk.

Stress factors such as stocking density, handling, transportation, feed transitions, vaccination and pathogen pressure were discussed in detail for their influence on intestinal integrity. Presentations also covered the role of functional components — including nucleotides, peptides, mannan-based fractions, beta-glucans and bioavailable amino acids — in supporting gut structure and immune responses under evolving feeding strategies.

Within this framework, Vimar’s collaboration with Angel Yeast, including work on GroPro, was presented as an example of integrating scientific understanding with field applicability.

Closing Perspective

As the workshop concluded, Baysan reiterated that Vimar’s defining elements remain unchanged: trust, consistent quality and the values the company has protected since its founding. These principles, she emphasized, continue to shape Vimar’s contribution to animal health as it moves beyond its 30th year.
