Aquaculture and aquafeed are recognised as fast-growing markets in animal protein production. Together with its growth, different concerns have emerged and discussions over sustainability (reduction of fish meal usage) and environmental impact (phosphorus excretion into the water) of intensive fish farming are now in the spotlight.
Aware of the concerns around aquaculture business and having OptiPhos® as a leading phytase, Huvepharma® brought the first high-efficiency phytase to the aquafeed market. OptiPhos® has proven its efficacy in promoting better fish growth and feed conversion under diets with reduced fish meal inclusion and in improving phosphorus utilisation with a significant reduction on phosphorus excretion into the water.
