NatureHolic’s soft Mainfeed Softpads are designed for daily feeding. They contain all the nutrients shrimp need for shell development, egg production, and growth. During production, we ensure a gentle and environmentally friendly cold-pressing process that preserves the vitamins and other valuable nutrients as much as possible. After all, ” Everything that goes against nature cannot last” – as Charles Darwin already knew!
We deliberately avoid using fishmeal. Instead, we use insects as a protein source. Insects provide not only protein but also chitin, cholesterol, and the important molting hormone ecdysone, which directly benefits the shrimp during shell formation and molting.
Valuable spirulina, moringa leaves, and iodine-rich kelp contribute vital nutrients such as vitamins, provitamins, trace elements, valuable plant protein, and phytochemicals. As natural sources of carotenoids, and especially astaxanthin, spirulina, moringa, and salmon oil can promote intense coloration and more vibrant shrimp. The blue-green algae spirulina (Arthrospira platensis), in particular, has proven highly effective in shrimp farming, alongside moringa leaves; its positive effects on shrimp have been thoroughly researched and repeatedly confirmed. Spirulina is also an important source of valuable plant protein. Salmon oil contains not only valuable natural astaxanthin but also essential unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, which shrimp can metabolize particularly well.
Processed grains serve as the main energy source. Gently dried yeasts contribute beta-glucan and mannan-oligosaccharide as immune boosters, as well as nucleotides and lecithins—as lubricants for a multitude of energy processes.
To specifically prevent deficiencies, we have incorporated our vitamin mix: Vitamin D3 for the calcium metabolism of the shrimp as important support during molting, Vitamin A for the development of the subcutaneous tissue and eggs, to support the immune system and especially as an antioxidant to protect against reactive molecules and bacteria, and Vitamin C, which is also an important antioxidant and is also needed for smooth molting.
Our proven mineral mix contains iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn), which are trace elements essential for shrimp to produce a variety of important enzymes, thus ensuring smooth molting. These trace elements are also necessary for the formation of various hormones, such as the growth hormone ecdysone, and for protein production, thereby supporting normal shrimp growth.
Feeding recommendation :
Feed 1-2 times daily, giving only as much as the shrimp can consume in a few minutes. Feed sparingly; a 5 mm pad is usually sufficient for 15-25 shrimp.
Shelf life: 2 years.
Store in a cool, dry place; refrigeration is not necessary.
Not for human consumption! Keep away from children!
Declaration according to the Feed Regulation: Compound feed for ornamental shrimp.
