Shrimp Larvae Feeds

P. Vanamei shrimp Larvae Feeds

• Microparticulate feed that offers superior buoyancy and availability in the water column for early stage shrimp larvae
• A complete nutritional profile designed to compliment live Artemia nauplii feeding
• Selected high quality marine ingredients with full balanced nutrition
• Formulated to provide color-staining of the gut

P. Vanamei shrimp Larval Feeds

•Water stable feed with high palatability and digestibility
• Significantly increases growth and improves survival rates

AQUAPLUS®  Vanamei Shrimp Post larvaL feeds is a range of 3 diets designed for high output post larval cultures, either as a stand alone diet or for co-feeding with live feed. The different diets within the range contain all necessary amino acids, essential lipids, vitamins, carotenoids, minerals and immunostimulants that are necessary to produce optimal post larval quality and resistance.

• Significantly increases growth and improves disease resistance
• Highest quality fry with high, reliable survival rates
• Incorporates state-of-the-art scientific findings on immune response stimulation and larval digestion
• Manufactured using the most advanced feed process technologies available today

Tested intensively on penaeid shrimp species in our test centres and continuously proven at customer sites across the world

Feed
Algae and Artemia Live algae and Artemia nauplii represent an important risk for introducing and spreading pathogens. High biosecurity measures in the feed production areas are therefore very important. Disinfection of Artemia prior to their use in larvaculture substantially lowers pathogen risk. Products that control proliferation of pathogens (e.g. D-fense technology for Artemia) can substantially lower pathogen levels.
Formulated feeds
Larval feeds should originate from trustworth suppliers that certify absence of pathogens in the product and raw materials.The main challenges in manufacturing larval feed are to provide a complete nutritional package in a sufficiently small particle that is easily ingested and digested by the larvae, and that prevents loss of nutrients into the water. Various types of larval feeds that meet these challenges are commercially available including microbound diets, flakes, granulated feeds, microencapsulated feeds.
Microencapsulated feeds have a protective coating that minimises nutrient loss while remaining attractive to the animals.
