Aquaculture feed additives for fish and shrimp feed
Fish and shrimp: feeds rich in plant proteins, stored in heat and humidity, and palatability that decides intake. Here are the challenges of aquafeed and the platforms that answer them.
Which additives for aquafeed, challenge by challenge?
Each challenge links to the page that explains it and to the pages of the platforms concerned.
Sound aquafeed
Aflatoxin and fumonisins from plant raw materials, moulds in storage, oils that oxidise: quality is decided at the mill and during storage.
Digestion and growth
Acidifiers, butyrate, monoglycerides, emulsifiers, tannins and a postbiotic are chosen on the species, the water and the formula.
Palatability
Betaine and flavours so that the feed is accepted, including when the formula changes.
Frequently asked questions
Is betaine only an attractant?
No: it is also an osmolyte, which helps cells keep their water when salinity or temperature varies.
How do I choose?
Describe the species, the stage, the formula and the process (extrusion, pelleting): we propose a platform, a rate and a way to use it.
