Reduction of production costs, since the extruded concentrate contains by-products (viscera) that have no commercial value as a source of protein.
Improved conversion rate compared to concentrated feeds available on the market.
The feed has an approximate digestibility of 95%.
Use of fish by-products.
The antioxidant and antimicrobial capacity demonstrated in the hydrolyzed protein strengthens the immune system of the fish, lowers stress levels and eliminates the need for antibiotics for the treatment of diseases that affect tilapia production.
