AQUAFEED & PET FOOD

Three functional ingredients. One raw material.

FeedXtend / ImmunoFeed is derived from shrimp shell biomass, delivering three co-extracted fractions in one platform: chitosan biopolymer, marine protein, and astaxanthin pigment. Available air-dried for commodity feed or freeze-dried for premium pet food and aquaculture — replacing what would otherwise be three to five separate additive SKUs.

Problems it solves

Real challenges. Bigger risks.

Passive packaging can’t stop microogranisms, dehydration or weight loss. The result is more waste, higher costs and increasing regulatory pressure.

Regulatory pressure to reduce antibiotic use in livestock and aquaculture production

Fishmeal supply constraints and price volatility

Poor gut health and microbial imbalance reducing feed conversion ratios

Consumer demand for natural, clean-label, sustainably sourced pet food ingredients

How it works

Three co-extracted fractions, each with a specific function.

  • Chitosan fraction — modulates the gut microbiome and coats feed pellets to reduce nutrient leaching
  • Protein fraction — a favourable amino acid profile for partial fishmeal replacement and improved palatability
  • Astaxanthin fraction — a natural antioxidant supporting immune function and natural pigmentation
Why it's better

More performance. More resilience.

Partial fishmeal replacement

Reduces feed cost and supply-chain exposure

Improved feed conversion ratio

Via better gut health and nutrient absorption

Reduced antibiotic inclusion

Supports farm certification and export access

Clean-label, upcycled marine origin

For premium pet food positioning

What it means for your numbers

A real impact on your bottom line.
