Problem
Aquaculture feed development relies on animal experimentation, which is costly, time-consuming, and raises ethical concerns. Traditional methods lack the precision needed to optimize nutrient absorption and minimize waste in fish diets.
Solution
NUTRIsim offers an in-vitro nutritional trial simulator, an "artificial intestine," that replicates the digestive environment of fish. This allows feed companies to rapidly and accurately test new feed formulations, reducing the need for in-vivo testing and accelerating the development process. The platform uses fish intestinal cell lines to evaluate nutrient absorption and feed effectiveness, providing detailed insights into diet optimization. By simulating nutrient absorption at a cellular level, NUTRIsim enables the creation of more efficient and sustainable aquaculture feeds, minimizing waste and promoting healthier fish growth. This technology facilitates a shift towards more ethical and responsible aquaculture practices.
Target Audience
The primary customers are aquaculture feed companies seeking to optimize feed formulations, reduce costs, and improve the sustainability and ethical profile of their products.
