Aqua Feed: Advancing Aquaculture Nutrition

Overview

Our R&D team works tirelessly to optimize feed formulations, incorporating innovative ingredients that support sustainable aquaculture practices. By reducing feed waste and improving nutrient absorption, we help farmers achieve better yields while minimizing the ecological footprint of their operations.

Challanges

ACI Godrej Agrovet Private Limited is at the forefront of advancing aquaculture nutrition, providing innovative and high-quality feed solutions for fish and shrimp farmers. Our commitment to research and development, coupled with our dedication to sustainability, drives us to deliver feed that enhances growth, productivity, and overall health of aquatic species.

  • One of the major challenges in aquaculture nutrition is the leaching of nutrients from feed into the water, leading to nutrient loss and water pollution. This not only reduces the efficiency of feed utilization but also affects the water quality, posing health risks to aquatic species.
  • With the shift towards sustainable and cost-effective plant-based ingredients, there is a challenge in ensuring their digestibility and nutritional adequacy for aquatic species. Some plant-based ingredients contain anti-nutritional factors that can hinder nutrient absorption and growth.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for the health and growth of aquatic species, but maintaining the right balance in feed formulations can be challenging. Traditional sources of omega-3, such as fish oil, are becoming less sustainable due to overfishing and environmental concerns.

Solutions

Our R&D team continuously explores innovative additives that promote gut health and enhance the immune system, reducing the need for antibiotics while maintaining bird health and productivity.

  • Our R&D team has developed water-stable feed formulations that minimize nutrient leaching. By incorporating binding agents and optimizing pellet composition, we ensure that the feed remains intact in water, allowing for maximum nutrient absorption by fish and shrimp. This approach not only improves feed efficiency but also maintains better water quality, promoting a healthier farming environment.
  • Through extensive research, we have identified and incorporated specific enzymes and probiotics that enhance the digestibility of plant-based ingredients. These additives break down anti-nutritional factors and improve nutrient availability, ensuring that fish and shrimp receive the essential nutrients needed for optimal growth. Our formulations are continuously tested and refined to maximize the benefits of plant-based ingredients.
  • Our R&D team is exploring alternative sources of omega-3 fatty acids, such as algae and other marine plants, which are more sustainable and provide a rich supply of these essential nutrients. By incorporating these alternatives into our feed formulations, we ensure that aquatic species receive the necessary omega-3 fatty acids for improved health and growth, while also promoting sustainability.
