Contract Research CreveTec is performing its own research to develop products and technology which would improve the performance and sustainability of shrimp farming. We also provide contract research for third parties: Feed trials Comparative Feed Trials can be supervised by CreveTec. The following services are offered: Design of the experimental protocol Production of small batches of experimental diets (soft extrusion, pelleting, extrusion, vacuum coating, crumbling and sieving) Feed trials at the CreveTec Research station Attractability and palatability tests Trials on shrimp larvae and postlarvae Draft of report and/or publication Feed analysis Apart from traditional gross composition, CreveTec can perform the following analysis: Leaching and water uptake: overall leaching, leaching of specific substances. Size distribution of meal and pellets Air classification Potential of vacuum coating - Shelve life Protein hydrolysis and digestibility .
