AP 301 Red Cells: A Highly Efficient Protein for Modern Aquafeeds

As the aquaculture industry evolves to meet the growing demand for sustainable, high-performance fish feeds, APC’s AP 301 Spray Dried Red Cells (SDRC) offer a proven and reliable alternative to traditional protein sources.

Derived from a controlled upcycling process of slaughterhouse co-products, AP 301 delivers a concentrated protein source with exceptional nutritional and benefits for aquatic species, especially carnivorous fish like salmon and trout.

Why Choose AP 301 for Fish Nutrition?

• Up to 98% digestibility – supported by in vivo trials at the University of Guelph and DIFTA.
• Rich in essential amino acids – including lysine, leucine, and histidine for growth, immunity, and tissue repair.
• Low ash and phosphorus – supporting regulatory compliance and environmental sustainability.
• Visually appealing – natural reddish color improves feed palatability and intake.
• Performance backed by science – trials show improved weight gain at inclusion rates between 5% and 15%.

AP 301 meets the nutritional needs of high-protein aquafeeds while supporting a circular economy by repurposing a co-product into a high-value, biosecure ingredient.

It is classified as a blood product (not Processed Animal Protein) under EU Regulation 142/2011 and approved for use in aquafeeds by Regulation 56/2013.
