Our product

Using copepods

What is the CFEED?

To give marine larvae a strong start, our company has developed a research-driven and nutritionally complete live feed. Each bottle of our feed contains millions of best-quality farmed copepod eggs, called: C-podz.

How to use our feed?

By using our feed as booster, supplement and/or alternative to rotifers, your larvae will get access from day 1 to essential nutrients that are crucial to overcome adversities throughout the whole circle of life

Why us?

After hatching, our C-podz provide essential nutrients and conditions to: Boost growth, Improve quality, Increase survival, Improve water quality, Enhance health and welfare, Support larvae to become an outperformer adult & Achieve better Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)

Advantages

Unleashing the power of nature

Nature is wise, and when it comes to optimal early larval nutrition, copepods are nature's 1st choice. Marine larvae have virtually evolved through millions of years to consume copepods as their starter feed.

CFEED is a company that strive to sustainably improve what nature offers already. Therefore, we are proud to be the world’s leading large-scale producer of high-quality farmed copepods.

Our C-podz offer properties beyond what nature offers:

Stable high levels of essential fatty acids DHA (25%) and EPA (13%)
Protein content close to 70%
No need for enrichment
Stable and predictable quality

Production

Bio-security & sustainability

C-podz are intensively farmed at our land-based facility in Vanvikan, Norway. This gives us a stable production throughout the year, with no season variations.

With a closed and fully controlled production CFEED can deliver a bio-safe product. High level of water treatment throughout the whole production process eliminates risk of contamination. The production is regularly examined for both bacterial and viral pathogens. The eggs are disinfected before storage, and we have protocols for disinfecting the eggs after delivery to our customers.

Committed to the UN SDGS
Based on our potential for real impact CFEED has decided to contribute in particular to the achievement of the following UN SDGs
