New nutritional solutions for shrimp larvae were presented at the recent Aqua Expo Santa Elena.
The Ecuadorian shrimp industry is a key sector of the nation’s economy, ranking as the second-largest non-oil export. The larval stage is critical for the overall success and profitability of shrimp farming, influencing the quality of shrimp development.
Vitapro, through its Nicovita brand, participated in Aqua Expo santa Elena, organized by the National Chamber of Aquaculture (CNA). The company showcased its latest advancements in nutrition for the initial phases of shrimp cultivation.
Nicovita introduced its updated range of nutritional solutions designed for reproductive and larval stages in laboratories. A key innovation is a larval feed containing 52% highly digestible protein, aimed at optimizing shrimp growth and improving feed conversion ratios. Microsphere technology ensures uniform pellet size, contributing to consistent shrimp size, reducing nutrient leaching, improving water quality, and minimizing environmental impact.
Vitapro also presented N start,an integrated system encompassing high-quality larvae,specialized nutritional solutions,personalized technical advice,and precision feeding technology,including a mobile automatic feeding system.
Strategic Alliance
Vitapro announced a partnership with Texcumar and its Aquateccsa laboratory to develop specialized protocols that enhance larval survival and growth, promoting more efficient and sustainable production.
aqua Santa Elena has been an chance to share our vision and reaffirm our focus on aquaculture nutrition,
said a Vitapro Technological Development Manager. He emphasized the importance of integrating technological and nutritional solutions to improve the sector’s performance.
