Sustainable nutritional solutions are the focus of modern aquafeed sector. Innovative compounds that support fish growth performance and to reduce the use on fish meal as well environmental concerns.

Being nutrition one of the fundamental pillars of animal health, adequate fish nutrition elevates animal and increases overall fish health without being detrimental to the environment or leaving residue in fish meat or water pond.

 Advances in the knowledge of fish nutrition and health led to the development of high-performance, natural bioactive compounds to be used as fish feed additives thru precise nutrition than can help farmers and feed companies to use novel protein sources in fish feeds.

A series of trials work with the use of protease in warm water fish sown good evidence when reformulating aquafeeds under current situation of cost increase in LATAM and USA.
