Research Trials
Gamma Trial – Use More Artemia
Whiteleg Shrimp – Penaeus vannamei
Our Gamma Trial utilized Mackay MP Feed with GSLA Artemia to assess survival and weight of shrimp in a variety of feed scenarios. We compared the Mackay Marine MP Feed diet to a low-cost competitor diet.
Survival
PL12 to PL25 Stage
Survival results demonstrated significant benefit when the MP Feed diet was used vs. the low-cost diet. Survivability increased from 82% to 90% when 6 kg of Artemia was used.
Weight
PL12 to PL25 Stage
Weight results also proved the benefit of using the MP Feed diet in the PL12 to PL25 stages. Data showed an overall weight increase of 31%, leading to larger and healthier shrimp.
