Dibaq Aquasafe
As a result of innovation and continuous improvement, at Dibaq Aquaculture we have launched a new product line called Dibaq AquaSafe ®, on which we have been actively working for the last few months. It is an internal quality seal to differentiate our high-value products.
Dibaq Aquaculture’s hallmark has always been that of a valuable company, specialised in the manufacture of special and differentiated products, using raw materials, micronutrients and high-quality functional components. However, as a result of the innovation and needs of our global market, we have been able to go further and improve the quality of our nutrients, additives and formulas in our products with this new seal that aims to bring value and differentiation to our customers and to achieve the maximum performance in their production.
Why did we name it AquaSafe?
This concept includes the sustainability and safety of water and planet Earth, as well as the health and safety of the fish fed with our products, stimulating the immune system, protecting them against internal and external parasites and improving production performance. It is therefore a global concept that offers and focuses on the safety of the Planet and fish.
Why should one use AquaSafe?
Dibaq Aquaculture has launched AquaSafe for those customers who seek to maximise the production capacity of their facilities and generate the maximum possible value in their production, better performance, greater animal welfare, an increase in productivity, and respect for the environment and sustainability.
In conclusion, it is a quality choice.
Main concepts
Aquasafe may combine up to 5 new main properties depending on the type of product, size, target species and type of production:
Nutraceutical activity
Nutraceuticals are products derived from natural extracts whose nutritional and functional characteristics provide benefits, contribute to improving health, and thus reduce the risk of disease and increase yield. These substances help to maintain the balance of the intestinal microbiota and have a favourable impact on the health and immunity of fish, something that Dibaq Aquaculture considers very important and that is why we give priority to these compounds, available in different formats and combinations.
Antiparasitic activity
In addition to stimulating immunity, they are effective products against internal and external parasites. This activity provides a complete defence against a wide variety of pathogens. The binding of both products is effective against parasites such as Myxosporidia in the intestine (E. leei) and monogens in gills, making our new AquaSafe line especially recommended for water temperature changes.
Sustainability
Focuses on compensating for the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is made up of three pillars: economic, environmental and social. At Dibaq Aquaculture we have adopted this environmentally responsible philosophy by including fish meal and oil from sustainable fisheries, which makes the FIFO we obtain in our products historically low so that, together with the inclusion of proteins alternative to fishmeal, we will become a potential generator of protein for the world’s population. Last but not least, our production mode is environmentally friendly by minimising and reusing waste and using 100% recyclable bags.
Improvement micropellets
Improvement and extension of micropellets in hatchery products: through the inclusion of 0.6 and 0.8 mm extrusions. Using a new improved micronisation system, we achieve an extremely fine grinding grade that allows micropellets to be produced afterwards with the assurance that each one includes all the raw materials that make up the formula. It is a very specific and highly technological process through which perfectly standardised micropellets of physical and nutritional quality are obtained. The size of the individual particles of a granule and therefore the degree of grinding of a feed have an important effect on the digestibility of the feed raw materials, increasing the digestibility and, therefore, improving the production results. Having obtained our new line of Microbaq AquaSafe segmented and adapted for different species is especially beneficial for carnivorous fish, having a short digestive tract, and for larvae and fingerlings.
Digestive and functional activity
It is summarised in an improvement in the nutritional quality of the feed by means of special natural additives that optimise its use in the digestive tract. In addition, they allow a correct intestinal health in diets high in vegetable flours, reducing costs for the customer and improving the production yield of the fish.
