Whisky waste as sustainable source of pet food

A SCOTTISH biotech firm have announced the appointment of a pet care specialist to help the firm further its efforts into turning whisky waste products into pet food.

MiAlgae have appointed pet care specialist David Macnair to its board to help it further its work and to help the firm expand internationally.

The firm is hoping to help eliminate wild caught fish as a primary source of Omega-3 in pet food and will instead use waste products from the whisky making process.

Newly appointed Mr Macnair brings 40 years of food industry innovation, with a diverse background and experience holding science and business leadership positions roles at Cadbury Ltd, Mars Inc and Campbell’s Soup Company.
