Novel ingredients for a sustainable Aquaculture

Many aquaculture producers face high mortality rates, particularly in the early stages of a rearing cycle, these juvenile fish are especially susceptible to bacteria and disease. At Phytaxis we focus on promoting gut health and building up the immune systems of these animals. This allows them to grow faster and healthier while eliminating excessive mortalities.

Digextra Aqua

A new scientifically backed natural feed additive that promotes gut health and growth in a variety of Aquatic species. Its broad range of active effects stem from polyphenols obtained from hydrolysates of agricultural residue. These effects include Anti-bacterial, Anti-oxidant, Anti-toxin, and Anti-coccidial.

Benefits

Health Benefits

  • Reduced mortality - decreased susceptibility to bacteria and disease, stronger immune system. 
  • Reduced antibiotic use - Increased overall health leads to reduction of antibiotic use. 
  • Increased water quality - Increase in nutrient uptake results in healthier faeces and less chance of eutrophication in water.

Commercial Benefits

  • Increased growth - increase in appetite and nutrient uptake from feed leads to a faster growing animal. Can financially capitalise on faster growing cycles and/or increase of sale price per animal. 
  • Reduced feed conversion ratio - Our products efficiently convert the feed into weight gain which has been proven in many trials and studies by achieving much better FCR.
