Chemoforma Chemoforma is a Swiss based producer of a unique range of innovative and pioneering feed supplements for aquaculture. All supplements are: maintaining general health enhancing development of young animals managing the deleterious effects of stress improving performance as well as productivity Upon challenging situations during rearing or growth of fish and crustaceans the demand for specific nutrients is drastically increased. Besides basic as well as essential nutrients sufficient amounts of the conditionally essential nucleotides must be available for physiological processes either requiring active multiplication of cells or involved in e.g. the repair of damaged cells or tissues. This increased demand for nucleotides is ensured by the addition of Chemoformas unique formulations of natural active ingredients. The benefits are achieved by providing basic components for physiological processes that otherwise would be retarded or precluded. The products of Chemoforma must be regarded as management tools with proven physiological benefits supporting increased performance, development and regeneration as well as facilitating immune response. They fit into the classification of nutraceuticals and must be considered essential for the development of functional feeds in aquaculture. Reflection of 2011: Chemoforma has again successfully passed recertification according to GMP+B1 and ISO 9001:2008. The development of new products was initiated and appropriate trials are going on at the moment. Thoughts for 2012: For 2012 CHEMOFORMA is focusing on the extension of the worldwide network of distributors spreading the benefits of natural enhancement of performance and disease control as well as the usage of functional feeds in animal production to fulfil the consumers demand for high quality animal products without potentially harmful residues. Chemoforma is looking forward to launch new and cost effective products for livestock industry and aquaculture.

Aquativ Aquativ is the international specialist of the conception, manufacturing and sales of functional hydrolysates dedicated to fish and shrimp feed. A strong expertise in the fields of hydrolysis and nutrition together with a unique international sales and production network allow Aquativ to provide feed manufacturers with competitive and local products under its commercial brand ACTIPALTM. Aquativ functional hydrolysates have three essential attributes generating aquafeed performance improvement thus farming productivity enhancement: Palatable: functional hydrolysates are naturally attractant and allow feed intake increase Nutritional: functional hydrolysates contain nutritional elements easily assimilated by the animal improving FCR Functional: functional hydrolysates stimulate the animal growth mechanisms increasing biomass production The superior performance of ACTIPALTM range of functional hydrolysates is principally due to their high content of Natural Active NutrientsTM (NAN) which boosts animal growth.

These NAN are low molecular weight active compounds mainly composed of active peptides, amino acids and nucleotides, generated through a smooth hydrolysis process that avoids protein denaturation and preserves the raw material complete and balanced nutritional profile. Aquativ functional hydrolysates can be used: To increase Natural Active NutrientsTM level in the feed formula To boost feed performance To offset fishmeal quality variation In substitution for fish meal To restore an efficient Natural Active NutrientsTM level To maintain feed performance In addition to the palatable and nutritional properties of the functional hydrolysates that allow feed manufacturers to decrease fish meal inclusion in feed and farmers to reduce feed waste while limiting water pollution, Aquativ exclusively based its raw material strategy on the valorisation of co-products coming from aquaculture and fishing in order not to impact scarce resources. Aquativ functional hydrolysates improve aquafeed performance while supporting a sustainable growth of aquaculture.
