Application guide
Shrimp · warm-water fish · cold-water fish
Three botanicals, placed where they survive the feed.
Feed-making decides what reaches the animal. Extrusion runs at 120–140 °C, shrimp pelleting at 85–95 °C, and a shrimp pellet can sit in water for an hour. Each product below goes into the step it survives.
The range
| Product | Working rate | When | Where in the process |
|---|---|---|---|
ImmuBloom Immune and skin-mucus conditioner | 2 kg / tonne feed 20 g per 10 kg feed | In pulses of 2–4 weeks around stocking, transfer, moults and sharp weather changes, then 2 weeks off. Fed nonstop at high rates, β-glucan loses its effect in shrimp. | Into the mash at the mill, or top-dressed on the farm for pulse feeding. |
MycoGuard Mycotoxin binder for plant-protein feeds | 2 kg / tonne feed 20 g per 10 kg feed | Continuously whenever plant proteins or grain by-products make up a large share of the formula, or when a raw-material lot tests positive. | Into the mash before conditioning; the clay and yeast fractions come through extrusion intact. |
PhytoX Essential-oil gut programme | 1 kg / tonne feed 10 g per 10 kg feed | Through the grow-out. | Never into the mash before extrusion: the oils evaporate and the fat coat melts. Add it after pelleting — in the coating oil at the mill, or top-dressed on the farm. |
Mixed with the raw materials before conditioning and extrusion or pelleting. Only for actives that survive 85–140 °C.
ImmuBloom · MycoGuard
Dispersed in the coating oil and vacuum- or drum-coated onto finished pellets after they cool.
PhytoX
Mixed with a little oil or a feed binder, tumbled with the day's pellets and air-dried for 20–30 minutes before feeding.

Top-dressing on the farm
- Weigh the day's feed and the product at the working rate (the grams per 10 kg are in the table above).
- Mix the product into a little oil or feed binder — typically 10–20 ml per kg of feed — until smooth.
- Tumble with the pellets in a clean drum or tray until every pellet is evenly coated.
- Air-dry in shade for 20–30 minutes, then feed the same day.
Rates are working rates from the published literature and our livestock data; our own fish and shrimp trials will confirm or change them. Benefits described are those reported in published studies, not Truevet results.
Registration. Our registrations cover these products as feed additives under each country's livestock rules. In most markets aquaculture use is approved separately, by a different authority. None is filed yet; we file market by market with each distributor.
Feed additives for professional nutritionists and farm managers. Not veterinary medicinal products; they do not treat, cure or prevent disease.
