The overriding aim of Xpand is to provide shrimp farms with far greater levels of flexibility. In using this grower diet, and without taking any shortcuts or unnecessary risks, farmers can reduce the associated costs and impacts of farming in exposed water locations by harvesting earlier at the same size; or alternatively, they can choose produce larger sized shrimp within their usual production schedules. The physical formulation of Xpand also supports improved water quality in the grow-out phase by ensuring that more of the feed is consumed by the shrimp.

Looking ahead, Skretting is also in the process of developing a new feed concept, collectively known as RCX. These products will have a high structural integrity and
be optimised for the requirements of recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS). Designed to increase stability and reduce risk in these systems, RCX will build on our existing RAS range, including market-leading RC. Furthermore, to ensure solution consistency, all RCX-producing factories will be audited. It is our intention to rollout RCX globally, starting with North America.

New SHIELD contains specifically-selected functional ingredients that work in synergy to contribute to the ability of seabream to cope with the onset of several different health challenges. It helps maintain the structural integrity of the intestines and the gills.
