Do you know what fish and prawns like to eat? We do!
Don't be fooled by their humble appearance: fish and prawn feeds are precisely formulated to nourish each species, for the life cycle they are in, and for the farming system in which they are raised. And just as important are the nutritional requirements (more on that later), such as eating patterns and taste preferences.
Unfortunately, you can't throw food into the water and expect fish and prawns to take it for something delicious. The prawns nibble, the salmon eats it whole, the tuna just wants a soft pellet... Just as people don't like foods, fish and prawns have preferences when it comes to texture, taste, and even whether you find the food near the surface or lower down in the water column. All of these elements determine how Skretting processes ingredients into food.
