NOBLESSE (UNIQUE MICRO PELLETS USING STATE-OF-THE-ART PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY FORIMPROVED HATCHERY PERFORMANCE) is a hatchery diet for fish fry cultured in intensive conditions. Conditions where nutrition, fish health and water quality are very important parameters. The uniquely formulated micro pellets contribute to high feed intake, high survival and growth rates in the first life stages of your fish. NOBLESSE is formulated using an exclusive mix of highly digestible raw materials and an attractant for optimum
palatability. The increased Vitamin C and Vitamin E levels support the vitality of the fry.To improve the natural disease resistance of your fry naturally sourced nucleotides are added. Nucleotides are well-known for improving physiological efficiency in a number of areas such as growth, disease resistance, gut health and stress reduction.NOBLESSE is produced by an advanced micro-extrusion process adopted from the food and pharmaceutical
industry. The nature of micro-extrusion technology results in a homogenous particle size, less dust in the feed, reduced sink rates and improved water stability. The high energy level results in very low feed conversions and fast growth.

SteCo CRUMBLE HE (HIGH ENERGY CRUMBLE FOR STURGEON FRY)  is a complete crumble specially formulated for sturgeon larvae and fry. The high energy crumbles contribute to fast growth and a high survival rate in the first life stages of your fish. This product incorporates a well balanced fatty acid profile.
