RCX for Atlantic salmon
RCX is the new generation feed concept for Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) and part of our RecircReady concept.
In RAS, both fish and system needs have to be addressed to ensure optimal productivity. RCX feed provides precise nutrition, leading to good digestibility and a low feed conversion ratio. The feed physical qualities and patented faecal binders result in easy removable faeces and consistent nutrient loading, leading to minimal waste.
RCX feed is produced only in RCX certified factories under unique quality standards and control. This ensures batch to batch consistency and high structural integrity tailored for RAS, increasing stability and reducing risk for RAS operations.
RCX has been launched in North America to specific customers for Atlantic salmon, followed by other locations and species around the world.
