La tendance actuelle d'élevage des différentes espèces d'esturgeons se porte sur les circuits fermés car ils offrent le meilleur contrôle sur les paramètres d'élevage et des conditions optimales pour une croissance rapide. Ce type d'élevage requiert des investissements sérieux en capitaux car il faut plusieurs années pour obtenir des produits commercialisables. De plus, il faut tenir compte des différences entre les besoins nutritionnels des poissons cartilagineux par rapport aux autres poissons. Coppens International a publié un manuel d'élevage de l'esturgeon qui est disponible sur simple demande.  

Nous avons identifié les exigences nutritionnelles spécifiques aux esturgeons et développé une gamme d'aliments adaptée qui fournit d'excellentes performances. Tous les aliments de la gamme SteCo conviennent à l'esturgeon Beluga, à l'esturgeon russe, à l'esturgeon sibérien, au sterlet, à l'esturgeon étoilé, à l'esturgeon blanc, aux spatules ainsi qu'à d'autres espèces. La nouveauté de 2010 est un aliment spécial, le SteCo Caviar, qui favorise le développement de caviar des femelles matures. La nutrition de l'esturgeon demeure un domaine de recherche important au sein de notre centre de recherches le Coppens Research Center (CRC), où sont pratiqués de nombreux tests sur différentes espèces d'esturgeons. La gamme actuelle vise une croissance rapide et efficace des poissons tout en maintenant un impact minimal sur l'environnement et la qualité d'eau.

 Les ingrédients choisis que nous sélectionnons proviennent de fournisseurs certifiés et répondent aux normes de qualité les plus exigeantes. La qualité de chaque lot d'alimentation produite est  bien contrôler avant qu'il soit vendue sur le marché. Ainsi, vous pouvez être sûrs que l'effort maximum a été investi dans la production de ces produits de haute qualité qui offrent la meilleure valeur pour l'argent Notre gamme d'aliments steco nous permet de nous positionner à la pointe du secteur des aliments pour esturgeon.

Water purification and recirculation are becoming widely used offering possibilities to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable farming. Coppens International's newest high energy diets like TroCo ULTRA, ULTIMATE and SPECTRA reflect these developments. These diets offer sufficient protein and ample oil to maximise growth. All three are based on the phase feeding concept whereby each pellet size has a different composition to give the trout precisely what it needs at that particular growth phase. Next to that Coppens has published a trout manual about advanced trout farming that can be supplied upon request. Coppens trout feed program promotes fast and efficient growth while at the same time the impact on the environment, pollution and water consumption, is minimised. The selected ingredients are purchased from certified suppliers only and meet the highest standards. Every produced batch of feed is scrutinized through an extensive quality control before it is sold in the market. This way you can be sure that maximum effort has been put into producing high quality products that give the best value for money. With this feed program Coppens is at the forefront of the trout sector.

Tilapia are herbivorous fish that convert lower digestible vegetable products into high quality fish proteins making them all the more commercially attractive. Tilapia filets are internationally recognised as a delicious and healthy product. A new development is to culture tilapia commercially in colder climates in recirculation systems. These systems contribute to sustainability by providing optimal conditions for high performance while reducing the impact on the environment to the minimum. Feeds suitable for such systems also have to meet other than nutritional criteria like a high water stability and a high durability when used with automated chain feeding systems. Coppens is known for its high quality tilapia starter feeds. The feeding protocol developed at the Coppens Research Centre is a valuable guide to help hatcheries reach the best results. The current feed program contributes to sustainable tilapia farming. The selected ingredients are purchased from certified suppliers only and meet the highest standards. Every produced batch of feed is scrutinized by our quality assurance before it is sold in the market. This way you can be sure that maximum effort has been put into producing high quality products that give the best value for money.

The used fish feed has always played an important role and Coppens International has been at the forefront of this sector from its early days. The present day offers the challenges of sustainability  and reduced impact on the environment. It is in this light that Coppens International introduced its MariCo ELITE in 2008. For 2009 a new pre grower is introduced with an increased protein level; MariCo Pre Grower-16. This new high performance diet can give juvenile growth a boost to help utilise the growing season more efficiently. Coppens marine feed program promotes fast and efficient growth while the impact on the environment, pollution and water consumption, is minimised. The selected ingredients are purchased from certified suppliers only and meet the highest standards. Every produced batch of feed is scrutinized by our quality assurance before it is sold in the market. This way you can be sure that maximum effort has been put into producing high quality products that give the best value for money. With this feed program Coppens remains at the forefront of the marine sector.

Originally catfish are cultured in ponds which works well in hot climates. In colder climates fish farmers have adopted specially developed recirculation systems that make it a highly sustainable culture. This offers the benefits of a more intense production under controlled culture conditions with a regular output of a uniform quality product. For their reproduction under artificial farming conditions Coppens has published a hatchery manual that can be supplied upon request.

Coppens is involved in developing and supplying high performance catfish diets since a long time and may be the only fish feed producer with a research program including catfish nutrition. The basis for the Coppens catfish feed program is laid in our own research facility the Coppens Research Centre (CRC). Catfish nutrition remains an important research topic, which also comprises feed tests with interesting catfish hybrids. The current program promotes fast and efficient growth while the impact on the environment, pollution and water consumption, is minimised.

The selected ingredients are purchased from certified suppliers only and meet the highest standards. Every produced batch of feed is scrutinized by our quality assurance before it is sold in the market.
