Nutramare is committed to conducting its own ongoing research and verifying the latest research findings. Only additives that have been successfully researched in-house are incorporated into the formula.

For the research on Nutramare Koi360, more than 1500 kg of feed was given to koi. The effects of the feed on the following parameters were investigated:

• growth
• Feed utilization
• Fish health (organ fat accumulation, obesity factor and susceptibility to disease)
• Color development
• Water pollution
• Behavior in water

For this research series, koi measuring 10-12 cm were imported from the Ogata Koi Farm. Standard koi were deliberately chosen, as this quality level represents the most commonly kept koi. In addition to the pure growth experiments, color measurements are being carried out on Gosanke using a colorimeter to document color development.

This scientifically based study (12 months) with Nutramare Koi360 confirmed excellent feed conversion, strong growth (from 12-15 cm to 35-45 cm), and color intensification. No organ fat accumulation occurred.

We are constantly working to improve our products. We are currently conducting research in the following areas:

• Feed utilization
• Prebiotics and probiotics
• Secondary plant compounds
• Carotenoids
• Montmorillonite
• Feeding and automation technology
• Alternative protein sources
