BioMar has announced the launch of SmartCare Endurance, a new feed solution that aims to boost fish health and fish resilience. According to the company, the fish fed with the product showed faster recovery and lower mortality rates, ensuring robust growth and productivity during critical periods.
One of the global leaders in sustainable aquaculture feeds, BioMar has unveiled SmartCare Endurance, an innovative feed solution developed to help farmed fish endure challenging conditions, such as SRS outbreaks. Developed through more than a decade of research and trials, SmartCare Endurance addresses the increasing pressures of infectious diseases, chronic inflammation, and environmental stressors on aquaculture operations, the company pointed out.
“SmartCare Endurance provides farmers with a powerful tool to support fish health during environmental challenging periods,” explained Torunn Forberg, BioMar’s Product Marketing Manager SmartCare. “This new product reflects our commitment to helping farmers overcome the challenges of modern aquaculture while prioritising fish welfare and performance.”
SmartCare Endurance features a unique blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Together, these components work to mitigate oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and enhance the fish’s natural immune response, according to BioMar’s statement. This results in a more resilient fish, better equipped to withstand threats from pathogens such as Piscirickettsia salmonis, the causative agent of SRS, and viral diseases like IPN and PD. Repeated trials have shown statistically significant improvements in survival rates and lower markers of tissue damage in fish fed with SmartCare Endurance.
BioMar explained the key benefits of SmartCare Endurance as:
• Improved disease resistance: In trials, fish fed with SmartCare Endurance demonstrated up to 70% higher survival when exposed to bacterial and viral pathogens.
• Protection against oxidative stress: By neutralising free radicals, the feed helps minimise tissue damage and lipid peroxidation during stressful events.
• Reduced chronic inflammation: The advanced formula limits pro-inflammatory responses, supporting immune function and enabling energy allocation for growth and recovery.
SmartCare Endurance has shown impressive results in a range of trials, including reduced inflammation during crowding conditions and better performance under chronic stress. According to the company, the fish fed with this product showed faster recovery and lower mortality rates, ensuring robust growth and productivity during critical periods.
“SmartCare Endurance will offer producers a practical, science-driven and cost-effective solution for fostering resilience and sustainability in aquaculture operations.” said Gabriela Heim, Commercial Director BioMar Chile.
BioMar expressed that SmartCare Endurance will first launch in Chile, where it has shown great potential in addressing local challenges.
