Alltech launches European Aquaculture Research Centre

EU - Alltech has announced the opening of its European Aquaculture Research Centre in Radnevo, Bulgaria, launched in conjunction with Trakia University.

The research centre was officially opened by the Mayor of Radnevo, Noncho Vodenicharov on October 14. Alltech has worked with Trakia University for several years as part of its “Marketing through Education” programme.

As part of the initial investment, Alltech has overseen the construction of 12 net cages on a well at the renowned Nomicom fish farm. The Research Centre will enable both Alltech and Trakia University to carry out the most advanced research on aquaculture specific to Bulgaria, in particular relating to carp, common carp, rainbow trout and sturgeon. A series of trials will be conducted with Alltech’s natural solutions for aquaculture and they will last an average of 70 days. The results from these trials will then be evaluated by Trakia University.

Dr Staykov of Trakia University explained how beneficial this partnership would be for the future of the aquaculture industry. “Alltech has been investing time and resources to provide natural solutions to the aquaculture industry for many years,” he said. “This collaboration aims to move the industry forward not only in Bulgaria, but the results will be beneficial to all aquaculture producers worldwide”.
