Skrettting launches new feed for shrimp farming in India

Skretting has launched the new prime functional feed, Armis, for shrimp farming in India.

The feed is specially designed to support the resilience of shrimp facing challenging conditions and provide optimal nutrition to safeguard farm performance.

Historically, producers hit by challenges such as Enterocytozoon hepatopenai (EHP) and other parasites have had little option but to feed their slow-growing stocks increased volumes of feed. This in turn results in significantly increased costs and diminished profitability, according to Skretting. In this context,  Armis serves as a practical solution that supports the continual growth of shrimp under trying conditions.

Armis has been carefully developed over the past three years, built upon Skretting's extensive knowledge of the specific nutritional requirements and digestive capabilities for shrimp species. It will also contain the latest phytogenic technology.

"Stemming from Skretting's dedication to provide sustainable and effective solutions to aquaculture challenges globally, Armis represents a significant advancement for maintaining productivity in shrimp farming," said Christian Delannoy, Skretting's global product manager (health). "The solution has undergone an extensive R&D validation process. Through this process, we have not only ensured that it works, but also gained a deep understanding of why it works so effectively."
