The Use of DMPT in Aquafeed

Dimethyl-propiothetin (DMPT) is an algae metabolite. It is a natural sulfur-containing compound (thio betaine) and is considered as the best feed lure, for both fresh water and sea water aquatic animals. In several lab- and field tests DMPT comes out as the best feed inducing stimulant ever tested.

DMPT(Cas NO.7314-30-9) not only improves feed intake, but also acts as a water soluble hormone-like substance. It is the most effective methyl donor available, it enhances the ability to cope with stress associated with catch / transportation of fish and other aquatic animals.

Product Advantage of DMPT:

1.Provide methyl for aquatic animals, promote the regenesis of amino acids and increase the bioavailability of amino acids;

2. A strong attractant which can effectively stimulate the feeding behavior of aquatic animals and increase their feeding frequency and feed intake;

3. Have the activity of ecdysone, which can increase the exuviation rate of crustacean;

4. Regulate osmotic pressure, and increase the abilities of swimming and anti-stress of fishes;

5. Reduce the proportion of fish meal in feed and increase the use of other relatively cheap protein sources.

Usage and Dosage:

Shrimps: 300-500 g per ton of complete feed;

Fishes: 150-250 g per ton of complete feed.
