Neptune™ Fish Concentrate
This aqua grade liquid protein is composed of low molecular weight, water soluble compounds such as free amino acids, peptides and nucleotides that are proven to be very effective as an excellent attractant for a variety of aquaculture feeds. Typical inclusion levels are 3 to 5%.
Neptune™ is utilized in both shrimp and finfish diets to improve attractability and, thus, consumption and conversion. Feeding trials have shown that Neptune™ performs as well as squid and squid liver meal in shrimp diets. Neptune™ ; can also be added directly to grow out ponds as a fertilizer to help feed the plankton and other natural food sources.
This product has also shown benefits in improved pellet quality and projects a strong fish odor and flavor. The last step in processing is to stabilize the liquid protein by reducing the pH to 3.8 - 4.0 giving us a secondary benefit of assuring it to be salmonella negative. The typical proximate analysis is 28-31% protein, 7-10% fat, and 50-55% moisture.
