Basic Nutritional Ingredients in Aqua Feeds
 Requirements change with aqua species
 Basic needs for aqua diets
 Protein
Fishmeal
62-68%
SPC
60-62%
SBM
44-47%
Navita™AQ
54-56%
 Digestible protein – trypsin inhibitor/
raffino-stachyose are negative affects
 Omega 3 oil
 Others that tend to be aqua species dependent
Key Traits
 Significantly higher protein (15-25% increase)
 Low oligosaccharides 6.0% → .05%
 Oligosaccharides
 Complex sugars – raffinose stachyose

Not heat labile
 Poorly digested
 Reduced energy
 Cause flatulence
 Removed by natural genetics
Key Traits
 Trypsin Inhibitors
 Reduces protein availability and digestibility
 Reduces growth rate and feed utilization
 Denatured at 280-330ºF
 Removed via Natural Genetics –
no heat required before feeding
