WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
What to Expect from the Aqua Nutrition AgriSchool
☑️ Comprehensive Practical Review of Aqua Nutrition
-
Update your knowledge with an in-depth review of the latest information related to proteins, amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals—focusing on optimization, digestibility, and cost efficiency in modern aquafeeds.
-
Using alternative ingredients, enzymes, and functional additives to improve performance and optimize formulation cost.
☑️ Advanced Feed Formulation & Ingredient Strategy
-
Apart from plant-based alternatives, aquaculture by-products, insect meals, macroalgae, and single-cell proteins have been investigated as fishmeal substitutes in aquafeed
-
Utilize modern formulation tools, updated nutrient databased and your lab data to make better, faster and more impactful feed formulation decisions.
☑️ Quality Control, Trials & Real-World Application
-
Revisit important nutrition research, experimental design, and models and build a deep understanding of nutritional science—and explore how aquaculture nutrition drives productivity
-
Learn how to design and interpret feed trials, validate results, and apply them directly to commercial production.
☑️ Feeding Management & Performance Optimization
-
Understand why and how feeding strategies, environmental conditions, and farm management impact feed intake, FCR, and growth performance and discuss strategies to counter act these through nutrition and feeding management.
-
Troubleshoot commonly seen feed and feeding related issues
☑️ Species-Specific Nutrition & Functional Feeds
-
Design targeted nutrition strategies for tilapia, pangasius, and shrimp, including the use of functional feeds to improve immunity, stress resistance, and product quality.
-
Explore practical approaches to reduce reliance on fishmeal and fish oil while maintaining performance.
