Matís' experimental farm conducts a variety of feed experiments where, among other things, new protein sources or additives are being tested that have a positive effect on growth and quality. These experiments are either carried out as a service to feed producers and aquaculture companies, or as part of research projects funded by funds.
Many of the world's largest feed producers in the world are among Matís' customers in this field, as there are relatively few parties in the world that can offer growth and digestibility experiments, measurements of the feed's effects on the chemical and physical properties of the fish, and sensory evaluation. One of Matís' customers in this field is the Austrian company Agrana, which produces a wide range of food and feed. Among the products they are currently developing with is Betaine, which is mostly made from sugar beets and, according to them, has a positive effect on the growth and quality of animals, including in aquaculture. Agrana has now received a patent for the active ingredient ActiBeet® and this winter asked Matís to experiment with the ingredient in feed for white-legged shrimp (warm-water shrimp). The results of the experiment were positive and now Agrana is in the process of reporting the results to feed and aquaculture producers around the world. This shows well how Matís' research affects around the world and contributes to increasing value for partners, and improving food security, food security and public health for society as a whole.
More information can be found on the website Agrana in addition, you can register for the online presentation that will take place at Agrana on 19 May.
