Growth & Color
Floating koifood
Growth & Color was specifically conceived to allow koi to regain their natural colours quickly. Because of the well balanced concentrations of astaxanthine (80 ppm) and capsanthine (90 ppm), a vibrant colour will be achieved while avoiding the colouring of the white scales of your koi. This will result in a koi rich in contrast. Astaxanthine is a natural pigment and is responsible for the pink to reddish hue in i.e. koi, salmon, shrimp and flamingos. Astaxanthine is a carotenoid (like ß-carotene found in carrots) en related to vitamin A. As such, astaxanthine is a strong antioxidant and has functions akin to vitamin E (protection from the harmful influence of UV light). Capsanthine is also a carotenoid but it does not appear in the animal kingdom. It is the colouring pigment which is abundantly found in red paprika (sweet pepper). As it gives rise to a darker red colour, capsanthine is often used as a source of complementary colours for the light red derived from astaxanthine. The high protein content and the use of premium class fishmeal results in a tasty food which is very easily to digest. Furthermore, because of the high protein content, this colour food is also an excellent growth food which will allow young koi to quickly gain colour and thus to perform a first segregation earlier than otherwise feasible.
Quality analysis: Crude protein: 47.0%, crude fat: 6.0%, fibres: 1.2%, ash: 7.2%, vitamin A: 22500 IE/kg, vitamin D3: 3000 IE/kg, vitamin E: 200 mg/kg, vitamin C: 300 mg/kg.
