World Aquaculture Show: Cargill Introduces Hoplite

MEXICO - At the World Aquaculture Show to be held on 25 - 29 September 2009, in Veracruz, Mexico, Cargill will introduce Hoplite™, a natural yeast product designed to provide gut health benefits for fish and shrimp, improve palatability of feed and act as a partial fish meal replacer.

"Hoplite™ contains nucleotides and proteins that support the immune system and cell growth, which may improve the gut health of fish and shrimp," said Christine Cerkvenik, product manager. "And adding Hoplite™ to a feed formulation can improve palatability, thereby encouraging weight gain and overall productivity. In research trials, fish on diets containing Hoplite™ showed increased feed intake over fish on a regularly prescribed diet."

Visitors to the Cargill booth (#82) at the World Aquaculture Show will have the opportunity to talk to Cargill specialists about how Hoplite™ can help aquaculture producers minimize their environmental impact. "Not only is Hoplite™ a natural yeast product that is sustainably sourced and competitively priced, but it can also partially replace a producer's use of fish meal. It's an environmentally conscious addition to any feed program," said Ms Cerkvenik.
