Suitable for all types of fish like barramundi, trout, perch, koi and other ornamental fish. Benefits: High Efficiency: Formulated for maximum nutrient absorption and low FCR. Sustainability: Available with or without land animal by-products (depending on specific range) and optimized for lower environmental discharge. High-Quality Ingredients: Selected for digestibility and palatability, often containing krill or specialized protein sources. Species-Specific: Tailored for over 10 different species, including salmon, trout, sturgeon, meagre, seabass, and tilapia Our starter range embraces rapid growth and high-quality raw materials in a unique way. Based on years of extensive research and unique partnerships, our starter aquafeeds deliver high quality juvenile fish and shrimp ready for the next life stage. Carefully selected raw materials promote high digestibility, good appetite, and growth as well as optimized operation conditions for farmers. FCR – Feed Conversion Rate is a key metric that measures the efficacy of feed usage into converting feed into biomass. Calculated by feed given / animal weight gain. Lower FCR = higher feed efficiency, meaning less feed to produce a unit of biomass. Biomar EFICO Barra. Standard range diet. Good performance high growth and low FCR. Lower cost diet formulation. BioMar EFICO Barra (Barramundi) is a premium grower feed designed for optimal digestibility and feed conversion. Specific proprietary exact percentages vary by pellet size and the exact EFICO line (e.g., EFICO Sigma or MAXIO), but typical bulk protein ranges from 43% to 50%, and crude fat sits at 15% to 21%. The raw material basket generally utilises the following core ingredients, balanced for high digestibility: • Marine Proteins: High-quality fish meal (often from sustainable pelagic sources like pilchard, herring, or blue whiting). • Marine Oils: Fish oil to provide essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6). • Plant-Based Ingredients: Wheat gluten, soybean meal, faba beans, and guar meal to optimise the digestible protein-to-energy ratio (PD ÷ ED). • Novel Additives: May include single-cell proteins (like specialised yeast) and krill meal to improve palatability, along with specialised micronutrient and vitamin premixes.
