PhyGeno, a division of Avitech Nutrition, has unveiled Extraqua, a plant-based agent that’s highly effective in reducing ammonia production whilst promoting the growth of zooplankton. Extraqua also outperforms Yucca in multiple parameters related to shrimp health and pond environment, according to the company.
PhyGeno, an Indian company that aims to provide natural solutions to the feed market, has introduced Extraqua, a 100% natural, plant-based ammonia control agent for aquaculture. Proven in zootechnical trials to perform better than Yucca, Extraqua heralds a new era in ammonia control, the company unveiled. By significantly reducing ammonia levels, Extraqua optimises the pond environment and enhances productivity.
According to a statement from Phygeno, the performance and efficacy of Extraqua have been validated by trials conducted at the Department of Aquaculture, Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (KUFOS). It outperforms Yucca in multiple parameters related to shrimp health and pond environment.
Extraqua contains bioactive compounds that are highly effective in reducing ammonia production whilst promoting the growth of zooplankton. These aid in the nitrification process, whilst phytoplankton utilises ammonia during photosynthesis, PhyGeno unveiled. Extraqua’s approach to ammonia management comprises binding, nitrification, and inhibition. Its 100% natural composition ensures a healthy pond environment, efficiently reducing ammonia and nitrite levels and enhancing production performance whilst being cost-effective, according to the company’s statement.
PhyGeno added that Extraqua represents a paradigm shift in ammonia control in aquaculture, offering optimal water quality and enhanced shrimp health and performance.
