About Panaferd®
Panaferd® is the natural choice for health and color in aquaculture species including salmonids and crustaceans by supplying a wide range of super antioxidants and red carotenoids through a naturally fermented additive. Also available for livestock feed applications (chicken, egg, pork).
What is Panaferd®-AX
Panaferd®-AX comes from the microorganism Paracoccus carotinifaciens. While it is less than 0.2 microns in size, this microorganism is one of many components in the start of the food chain in the aquatic environment and produces one of the highest concentration of carotenoids, including astaxanthin.
