Description
Cholesterol FG (80%) is an almost odorless, white powder that is derived from wool grease, the by-product of wool scouring (washing). The wool grease is subjected to alkaline hydrolysis that yields Lanolin Alcohol from which the Cholesterol is extracted.
Application
As an additive for shrimp feed Cholesterol is an essential molecule for the synthesis of molting hormones, sex hormones, bile acids, vitamin D and is a building block for shrimp tissues. Cholesterol cannot be synthesized by the shrimp and has therefore to be added to the shrimp feed.
Shrimp Farming:
Cholesterol is an essential ingredient in diets for shrimp farming as it improves the immune system and growth of crustaceans. It can reduce susceptibility to diseases by strengthening their immune system. Cholesterol improves the food conversion ratio (FCR) by improving the shrimps weight gain. Shrimps need cholesterol as building block for shrimp tissue needed for the moulding process. Cholesterol cannot be synthesized by the shrimp themselves.
