Nutriad recently participated in the International AquaExpo 2018 in Guyaquil, Ecuador.

The AquaExpo, organized by the National Chamber of Aquaculture (CNA), attracted more than 750 attendants, mostly from South America, but also from Europe and Asia. 31 International speakers presented different topics on nutrition, health, genetics, diseases, biosecurity, management practices oriented to the farming of white leg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei.

In Ecuador, Nutriad is working with BIOBAC, which distributes their aquaculture specialtes. The aqua team supported the BIOBAC booth with focus on programs for aquaculture additives supporting the prevention of shrimp diseases (SANACORE® GM, BACTINIL® AQUA) and species-specific digestive/metabolic enhancers to reduce feed cost and improve performance in shrimp (AQUAGEST®, LIPOGEST®).

“Nutriad has been working with producers in South America in general and in Ecuador for many years,” said Peter Coutteau, Nutriad Business Unit Director Aquaculture. “Our philosophy of sharing insights and working together with local professionals has helped us establish a leading position in the aquaculture markets.”
