Dr Albert Tacon, Consultant Nutritionalist
The scientific rational behind the choice of feed ingredients & essential micro-nutrients used within AquaThrive aquarium products as produced by Dragon Feeds, including processing methods.
- Only high quality cultured marine polychaete worms, grown under environmentally controlled and ecologically sustainable farming conditions, are used as a source of essential dietary nutrients.
- Only top quality natural marine food organisms are used as a highly digestible and nutritious source of animal protein and lipids, including cultured marine polychaete worms, squid, and mussels.
- The use of natural marine algal meals and brewers yeasts for optimum diet water stability, disease resistance and skin pigmentation, including dried seaweed meal, spirulina and brewers yeast.
- The addition of over twenty essential micro-nutrients for optimum growth, reproductive function and health, including vitamins, trace minerals and natural preservatives.
Processing
- All AquaThrive products are processed under gentle heat and shear conditions to minimise damage to essential nutrients and natural pigments.
- All feed products are packaged using premium quality packaging to minimise deterioration with storage, and so ensure maximum shelf life.
- All products are processed so that rehydration is fast on immersion in water, giving optimum texture characteristics or a soft in the mouth feel, which maximises feeding performance.
