Animal feed supplement AQphos

fishmineralphosphorus

AQphos is used as a raw material for the input of phosphorus in the manufacture of aquaculture feed. Phosphorus is an essential mineral for proper bone mineralisation. Although fish have the capacity to gill up minerals from the water, phosphorus is usually a limiting mineral in most natural waters. If we add to this the low rate of absorption by this route, it becomes essential to incorporate an additional source of phosphorus in their diet. AQphos is obtained directly from GlobalPhos® technology, a production technology based on the direct reaction of phosphoric acid together with calcium carbonate, raw materials which in both cases are suitable for animal nutrition. In this way, we obtain products with very different characteristics: Great wealth of mineral phosphorus available. Low chloride content. Acid pH. Low heavy metal levels. Suitable particle size. Both the raw materials and the end product are strictly controlled and are stored so as to prevent any possible contamination. The end product is dried using natural gas, to prevent any risk of contamination, at controlled low temperatures in order to avoid possible phosphorus retrogradation in the end products, thus ensuring greater availability/digestibility. From an environmental perspective, the production process is fully environmentally friendly and generates no chemical waste.
