Dietary Vitamin D3 Supplementation Enhances Fillet Vitamin D Content in Rainbow Trout

BioMar launches a new feed for meagre (Argyrosomus regius). The feed belongs to the EFICO product group and aims to support farmers in lowering their production cost under challenging market conditions.
BioMar’s new grower feed, EFICO 2152, is a specialised solution that allows meagre farmers to lower production cost, increase efficiency, and thereby, control the economic performance of their farm under challenging market conditions.
The carefully balanced ratio between digestible protein and digestible energy in EFICO 2152 allows for an optimum balance of a relatively low feed cost and low feed conversion rate. In the formulation of EFICO 2152, BioMar caters for an increased feed and farming efficiency by utilising a wide range of raw materials in an innovative way.
Previously, BioMar introduced MAXIOTM 2162 for meagre that has become the preferred feed choice for providing robustness and maximising growth as primary targets. Within their product portfolio, BioMar also offers SmartCare INSHAPE, a supplementary feed package developed for meagre. SmartCare INSHAPE contains functional ingredients and covers special requirements for feeding regimes that provides the fish with extra support for robustness and performance.
Now, with the development of the new feed, EFICO 2152, BioMar expands its product offering and aims for covering many needs in the farming of meagre, this rising star in Mediterranean fish farming.
