Crocodile Grower
Feeding chicken carcasses, raw fish and red meat to crocodiles in commercial
grow-out systems is at last something of the past. AQUANUTRO’s CROCODILE
GROWER is an extruded pellet-type feed especially designed for the young,
growing Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus). The ingredient balance of
this diet is precisely calculated for high digestibility, resulting in more
hygienic conditions grow-out systems - because crocodiles usually consume
their food in the water, it becomes polluted and, in extreme cases, septic.
Therefore the use of highly digestible and water-stable feed improves hygiene
and decreases stress and general disease problems. The optimally balanced
Ca:P ratio of the diet may reduce the occurrence of osteomalacia. It is a
tasty and highly palatable feed with a good feeding response. Other advantages
include:
- A carefully-balanced amino acid profile ensures
maximum growth through the grow-out phase to shorten the
period till market age: thus cost-effective production.
- The optimum protein/energy ratio in the diet ensures true 'protein sparing'
and a better feed conversion ratio (FCR).
- Pellets remains fresh longer than traditional food.
Anti-fungal agents minimize bacterial growth in a warm
feeding environment, and therefore reduce
the possibility
of Salmonella contamination.
- Extrusion causes gelatinisation and
dextrinisation, increasing the availability of carbohydrates
as energy source.
- Better physical pellet quality with lower dust-levels reduces wastage
(typically less than 1% during manufacture) and improves feed management.
- An extended pellet size range (3 - 20 mm) for every growth stage to ensure
the correct intake of daily nutrients.
