Our key product categories for freshwater fish feeds include liquid micro-ingredients and heat-stable prebiotics:

LIQUID ENZYMES

Liquid enzymes are indispensable in sustainable aquaculture because they reduce animal proteins and inorganic minerals in feed, which would otherwise pollute the water environment. Due to the temperatures reached in the manufacturing process of fish feeds, post-extrusion spraying is the only viable way of applying heat labile ingredients like enzymes onto the feeds.

Behn Meyer offers phytases from Germany and a range of enzymes specifically designed to hydrolyse antigens in feed raw materials (Hemicell). Varying degrees of NSP enzyme activities are added to tailor the liquid enzyme to the individual needs of fish feed producers (Hemicell W).

HEAT-STABLE PREBIOTICS

Heat-stable prebiotics offer great advantages over living microbes for feed producers. They can be handled without special precautions and can be pelleted or extruded without any detrimental effects to their efficacy. Behn Meyer blends unique combinations of these prebiotics depending on species, development stage and environmental factors.

Immunowall
A prebiotic derived from the purified yeast cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, originates from ethanol fermentation. Immunowall contains oligosaccharides, mannose oligosaccharides and very high levels of beta-glucans, which boost immunity.

Penergetic
Establishes a balanced gut microflora.

Azomite
Provides trace elements needed for protein synthesis and immune functions.
