BetaTec® Aqua is the next generation solution for aquafeed. BetaTec® Aqua is a carefully formulated feed additive solution for optimizing aquafeed diets and protecting aquatic animals. It is useful for modern low fish meal, high vegetable protein feed formulations.
Diets high in vegetable ingredients often contain more carbohydrates and are low in L-carnitine—an amino acid derivative that supports fatty acid transport. This can result in fat accumulation and the increased potential for metabolic diseases such as fatty liver. BetaTec® Aqua contains L-carnitine to support energy metabolism and fat transport, improving energy supply and reducing body fat content.
Many aquatic species experience enteritis symptoms from plant protein sources, which reduces nutrient uptake and reduces feed efficiency. BetaTec® Aqua is formulated with a prebiotic that positively affects intestinal development and feed conversion ratio. The yeast cell wall included in BetaTec® Aqua also binds to and removes pathogenic bacteria, such as Vibrio spp. In addition, the β-glucans in BetaTec® Aqua are immune stimulatory, increasing disease resistance and survival.
The betaine in BetaTec® Aqua enhances palatability and masks off-flavors, which helps maintain feed intake. Its osmotic properties help to reduce the osmoregulatory stress experienced by fish and shrimp during the hot season. In addition, efficient methylation enhances protein metabolism and immune defenses.
BetaTec® Aqua contains an organically bound zinc to ensure excellent bioavailability and optimal supply. Zinc plays a critical role in skin development and healing. It also helps fight infection and inflammation. BetaTec® Aqua can help protect against common skin damage or lesions that are often caused by physical stress during treatments, transportation, or increased stocking.
BetaTec® Aqua offers flexibility in feed formulation while maintaining feed intake and efficiency. Unlock the potential of plant-based diets by incorporating BetaTec® Aqua into your aquafeed.
