Aller Aqua’s PowerRAS concept meets the high demands towards feed for RAS in terms of feed efficiency, optimal water quality and subsequent fish growth. The concept is the result of continuous research and trial work at Aller Aqua Research in combination with field trials.
“At Aller Aqua we believe that constantly challenging the status quo is key to staying at the forefront of fish feed development. Together with our customers and research partners we develop innovative feed concepts that address the demands from the market,” said Dr Robert Tillner, Product Manager for Aller Aqua.
“Farming fish in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) has gained popularity. Whether RAS are built from scratch or existing fish farms are converted to RAS technology – fish produced in RAS represent a steadily growing volume of total aquaculture production;” he commented, adding that the control measures in RAS technology allow for fish production under constant environmental conditions.
“This accurate optimisation between water parameters and fish biomass requires external factors to seamlessly integrate into this equilibrium. In this respect, feed is the most influential external factor in RAS. Therefore, feeds for RAS need to fulfil the requirements of this highly sophisticated and complex production technology by taking the following aspects to a new level in terms of nutrient digestibility and palatability, faeces quality, fish metabolism and DP:DE ratio, the technical quality of the feed and feed functionality.”
He said that the PowerRAS concept has been developed based on many years of research.
“We have kept up with the increasing sophistication of RAS, whilst focusing on the benefits for the RAS farmers. This is what will separate our feed from the competition,” Dr Robert Tillner said.
