Fields of application

Microalgae for feed and aquaculture

We discuss material for diets and feeding trials. First the cultured species and its stage, then the form of the material and composition requirements. You don't need to know the name of a culture in advance.

Tasks we discuss

  • Material for a diet at a specific stage of cultivation
  • A feeding trial compared with the current diet
  • Cultivating a live culture at your site — a separate engineering request

What needs to be defined before a trial batch

These questions are part of the survey and the technical specification. If you don't have an answer yet, leave the item open and we will clarify it together.

  1. 01

    Cultured species and stage

  2. 02

    Required cell size

  3. 03

    Live or non-live material, form and storage method

  4. 04

    Nutritional value: protein, lipid profile, pigments

  5. 05

    Safety parameters

  6. 06

    Trial criteria: survival, growth, feed costs

  7. 07

    Trial volume and indicative regular demand

Important to know

  • A combination of several cultures is considered only for a specific diet and is tested against a control diet
  • Feed use and safety are assessed for the specific material
  • A request for an installation or on-site cultivation is considered separately from biomass purchase
