dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health Reinventing Vitamin D Nutrition for Aquaculture

Innovation doesn’t happen every day — but with Hy-D®, dsm-firmenich is redefining what’s possible in high-performance vitamin D nutrition for aquaculture.

dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health is pleased to announce that Hy-D®, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH-D3) produced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 146008, has received new European Union authorisation for use in salmonids, other fish species, and all other animal species. This means that aquaculture stakeholders will soon gain access to its well-documented benefits for performance, health, and quality.

Re-Inventing Vitamin D Nutrition for Aquaculture
The vitamin D system in salmonids plays a critical role in zootechnical performance, health, and product quality, yet its full potential remains underappreciated. As growth rates accelerate, feed formulations evolve, and production technologies advance, the need for a deeper understanding of this system becomes paramount. Fully harnessing the functionality of the vitamin D system and its metabolites is essential to ensure productivity, sustainability, and profitability in modern aquaculture.

This is an-by invitation-only event.
