Premium condition feed with weat germ

Optimal digestibility WHEAT GERM EF is a premium feed to keep koi in a great condition throughout the year. The use of highly digestible fish and vegetable proteins and grains promote an optimal digestion. The addition of a high amount of wheat germ guarantees a good digestion even at low water temperatures when small amounts should be fed. For many koi keepers WHEAT GERM EF is the only choice at water temperatures below 15 °C as they have experienced that this diet excels under colder conditions.

Vitality Knowledge gained at our Coppens ResearchCentre about special ingredients and additives enables us to upgrade an already special diet. WHEAT GERM EF is enhanced with a prebiotic and a probiotic to support the intestinal flora. The prebiotic, a ructoligosaccharide, acts as a food source for the positive gut bacteria that are essential for an ptimal nutrient absorption and disease resistance. The probiotic, live positive bacteria, included in Wheat Germ EF acts as the fish's own positive bacteria and helps to consolidate a good gut health. Especially after antibiotic treatments where often all the gut bacteria are destroyed it is important to quickly re-colonise with positive bacteria as supplied by WHEAT GERM EF .

Beneficial for fish health Japanese koi breeders recommend a diet based on wheat germ for koi because this ingredient is extremely useful in keeping the transit through the intestines working. This considerably lessens the risk of intestinal blockages or infections at low water temperatures. WHEAT GERM EF is rich in natural vitamin E and Ω-6 and Ω-3 fatty acids all of which are essential to keep koi healthy.
