ABMAX

The best abalone feed you have ever tried - We guarantee it!

Development of our abalone feed ABMAX began in 1994 and has evolved dramatically since those early years. E. N. Hutchinson Ltd has refined ABMAX to provide growth, density, palatability and stability second to none. In fact ABMAX is so attractive to abalone that feed ration must be restricted in order to prevent consumption up to 300% greater than that of other commercial diets.

The greatest ABMAX growth advantage appears to be demonstrated in summer and in particular, during times of heat stress. This is because abalone will continue feeding on ABMAX when consumption of other feeds has slowed dramatically or ceased altogether. Also of significance during high temperatures (predominantly in recirculating systems) is the stability of ABMAX which leads to significant improvement in water fouling when compared with other commercial diets.

ABMAX is a highly digestible steam extruded diet. Due to the often diverse nature of extrusion work ENH Ltd carry out, we have been able to marry technology from unrelated fields in order to make significant advancements in our extrusion processes. It is these advancements which make the properties of our feed so unique. Stability so superb, that despite their best endeavours, even the world’s largest feed companies have been unable to successfully match our product in this respect.

The very essence of our company is research and development, so you can be guaranteed that we will strive to make continued improvements to our feed products and attempt to solve any issues specific to your farm. We are genuinely versatile enough to make the product you require.
