Hatchery range - LARVIVA & INICIO

Intro - fish hatchery item 1

The LARVIVA hatchery feed range for fish is a complete product range covering all the nutritional needs of fish larvae and small fry in just four different products.

Using copepods as the reference and only using the highest quality of raw materials, the LARVIVA range has proven in tests to be the perfect match even for the most demanding fish species. LARVIVA has outstanding performance and has received excellent feedback from our customers.

All LARVIVA diets for fish contain Bactocell® - a probiotic approved by the European Food Safety Authorities for its documented effect on reducing deformities in fish larvae.

INICIO range

The optimal start

BioMar's INICIO Plus and INICIO feed ranges cover all the nutritional needs of farmed fish during the first life stages. Our ranges are based on superior quality raw materials, contain high protein levels, balanced amino-acid, and fatty acid profiles, vitamins and micronutrients.

Due to its specially developed composition, INICIO Plus consistently out-performs in feed trials with excellent feed conversion, growth, and low mortality results. By improving the performance of the fish, BioMar's starter feed contributes to increased production profitability.

INICIO Plus contains Bactocell®*, a well-documented probiotic that reduces deformities and mortality across fish species. In addition, our studies as well as many independent scientific publications,show that the use of probiotics in the feed also enhances the general health status of the fish and increases digestibility of the feed.

Furthermore, a unique production process ensures an optimal sinking speed, well adapted to the eating behaviour of the fry. The result is an optimal growth rate and good feed conversion.

* Bactocell® is the only probiotic approved by the European Comission for inclusion in fish feed. The approval is based on extensive documentation of reduced occurrence of deformities across fish species.
