New brood stock feed

The new brood stock feed EFICO Genio 991 is now available – it is an updated and improved version of BioMar’s recognised brood stock feed for trout.

The new feed is a result of a research and development project involving BioMar and the French research institute INRA. The project has aimed at creating an optimal brood stock feed with special emphasis on egg quality and quantity.

Focus in the development of EFICO Genio 991 has been on achieving a stable and strong breeding performance. A low energy level combined with a high content of vitamins and minerals contribute to the development of large high quality eggs. The relation between digestible protein and energy has been adjusted according to our research results, just like the fatty acid profile and the content of vitamins have been adjusted according to the specific needs of the fish during vitellogenesis. EFICO Genio 991 contains krill meal, which both provides natural astaxanthin and has an attractive taste, which stimulates fish appetite.

EFICO Genio 991 is a floating feed. This makes it easier to follow feed consumption. At the same time, the high physical quality of the pellets contributes to a clean and healthy water environment.

We recommend to utilise EFICO Genio 991 from 6 months before the expected time of spawning. Outside this period, it might be desirable to utilise a feed with a higher energy level to promote growth of the mother fish.
