Abstract: A fish feed includes carvacrol and/or salvia extract (provided that where the fish feed comprises carvacrol and not salvia extract the lipid content of the fish feed is at least 15 wt %). The salvia extract may be selected from extract of Salvia officinalis and extract of Salvia lavandulifolia. The carvacrol may be synthetic or may be extracted from Origanum vulgare.

Abstract: A farming feed for fish in freshwater, wherein, in addition to the content of starch as an ordinary binder, there has been added to the feed up to 25 g per kg of constituent feed ingredients of a faecal binder of a non-starch type, and methods of making and using the same. The feed may be of a pressed or extruded type.

Abstract: A rearing fodder of extruded fodder type, comprising proteins, fats and carbohydrates, for freshwater fish, wherein the fish is larger than 2 grams, and wherein the freshwater has a content of CO2 being above 5 milligrams/liter, wherein the fodder has an increased content of at least one of the minerals: phosphate (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg) beyond what exists naturally in the used protein raw materials, fat raw materials and carbohydrate raw materials, wherein the collective amount of minerals in the extruded fodder is at least 10%, on a dry substance basis, of the total weight of the fodder, and wherein one or more of the minerals phosphate (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg) is/are added beyond what exist in the used protein raw materials, fat raw materials and carbohydrate raw materials.

Abstract: Extruded, formulated fish feed containing less than 10 percent by weight of ash, more than 20 percent by weight of fat, less than 20 percent by weight of starch-containing raw material, and pigment selected from the group of carotenoids, wherein the fish feed contains at least one water-soluble antioxidant selected from the group consisting of hydroxycinnamic acids and hydroxybenzoic acids, and wherein the fish feed contains up to 40 mg of pigment per kg feed of at least one pigment selected from the group consisting of astaxanthin and canthaxanthin. It is also described feeding fish with the feed.

Abstract: Feed block containing feed particles, at least one binding agent and liquid wherein the binding agent is selected from the group consisting of cold-water soluble starch or cold-water soluble, vegetable protein; and the feed block contains less than 40% of water by weight. Also described is a method for forming a feed block and an apparatus for manufacturing of the feed block.

It is also described feeding fish with the feed.

Abstract: Fish feed where the fish feed is produced by extrusion and contains at least 3 percent by weight of the amino acid arginine.
