Soya lecithin is a natural-sourced, consistent, superior feed ingredient that is an excellent source of dietary phospholipids.
Advantages of lecithin
1. Improves survival rate of shrimp and fish larvae
2. Improves growth rate of fish and shrimp
3. Improves feed utilization efficiency Increases resistance to stress
4. Provides a consistent source of bio-available phospholipids
5. Good energy source
6. Mobilizes cholesterol
7. Nutritionally superior source of choline, iositol and unsaturated faty acids
8. Reduces the leaching of water-soluble nutrients
9. Acts as a natural antioxidant
10. Acts as a feed attractant
Lecithin is known to be a consistent source of highly bioavailable phospholipids to crustaceans and fish. But there are a number of other nutritional benefits in aquaculture applications. Lecithin has an interactive role in the intestinal absorption of cholesterol, which helps improve the growth and survival of aquaculture species. In crustaceans and fish, lecithin helps mobilise dietary cholesterol. Lecithin provides the same feeding energy value as animal fat or feed-grade vegetable oil. Lecithin’s synergistic effect on lipid metabolism results in improved feed utilisation efficiency, growth, and survival rates in fish and crustaceans. The physical functionality of lecithin imparts a number of advantages to aquaculture operations. For instance, because phospholipids can reduce the oxidation of vitamins A, C and E, they enhance the utilisation of these vitamins in aquacultural species. Enrobing feed with fluid lecithin prevents the leaching out of water-soluble nutrients.
