EXTRUSION TECHNOLOGY

Superior Water Stability and Digestibility

Our aquaculture feeds are manufactured using advanced twin-screw extrusion technology. This high-temperature, high-pressure process gelatinizes starches, significantly increasing digestibility while creating a highly water-stable pellet. This means less feed breakdown in the water, reduced pond pollution, and a lower Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR).

100% Extruded, not just pelleted
Precision buoyancy control (floating, sinking, slow-sink)
High-quality marine and plant protein sources
