OSF Ballan Wrasse Trial proves success

An independent trial conducted at Otter Ferry Selfish in Scotland, showed the inclusion of Oregon-Stim Forte, a natural and sustainable feed addictive, to the commercial diets of juvenile ballan wrasse resulted in improved growth performance, survivability, lower feed conversion and higher specific growth rates.

Oregon-Stim Forte is a high-quality functional feed ingredient, manufactured by Anpario and specifically developed for aquaculture, containing 100% natural oregano essential oils and quillaja saponins.

Lawrence Brown, Senior Technical & Account Manager at Anpario commented,

"Ballan wrasse are increasingly utilised in salmon farming for sustainable sea lice management. By improving the performance and survivability of ballan wrasse using Orego-Stim Forte we're able to drive productivity, fish welfare and ultimately reduce the overall environmental footprint. We're excited to be working with cleaner fish producers and Aquafeed manufacturers to harness the benefits of our functional feed ingredients."

This research was part-funded by UK Agritech Centre CIEL as a successful recipient of aquaculture project seed funding.
