Alltech Coppens to provide next-generation starter feeds Alltech Coppens launched an improved range of innovative starter feeds for trout. Backed by extensive research at Alltech Coppens Aqua Centre (ACAC), TOP fry feed is shown to provide key nutrients while improving water quality. Understanding the importance of early nutrition, the company advanced its range of starter feeds to support trout farmers in raising high-quality products for consumers. Research at ACAC shows that Alltech Coppens TOP fry feed has an optimized ratio between digestible protein and digestible energy (DP:DE). The result is better performance, higher protein utilization and lower ammonia excretion, leading to improved feed efficiency and better water quality. Two of the largest sizes of TOP feed are now available as micro-pellets that combine a slow sink rate paired with high water stability. This allows trout fry more time to eat while the water is kept cleaner.
