THE TROUT

omega

Source of Omega

Just 100 grammes of trout will provide over 1000 milligrams of the EPA and DHA. These fats are vital for brain function and development, hormone health, fertility, skin, hair and nail health and energy. The omega 3 fats also have anti-inflammatory effects, so they are useful in inflammatory disorders such as arthritis.

protein

Source of Protein

The 21 grams of protein provided by a 85 grams serving of rainbow trout supplies 37 percent of the recommended daily allowance for an adult man and nearly 46 percent of the daily need for an adult woman. Trout is also a good source of minerals including selenium and iron.

fat

Low in Fat

Trout contains 6 grams of total fat, 1.4 grams of saturated fat and 60 milligrams of cholesterol in each 85 grams serving. It is a good protein to substitute in the diet for meats like beef, pork and lamb, which contain significantly higher amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol. Trout is also a good source of vitamin B12, a vitamin that is poorly absorbed from supplements.

FISH . SPAWN

A significant advantage of the company IZVOR represents the possibility of two spawning in the year, that is winter and summer spawning.

TYPE OF TROUT

GOLDEN TROUT

Golden trout is the result of crossbreeding a male from California in yellow and female of California trout with standard color. Compared to a standard trout, it has three times more fatty substances in the flesh structure, whose value ranges between 7 and 12 percent

RAINBOW TROUT

Originated in the Pacific Ocean coast of North America and in Europe it has been transferred in 1882. Spawns two or three years of age in the period from November to March.

RIVER TROUT

(Watercress) is an indigenous and endemic species of trout, characteristic for the waters in the Republic of Macedonia. The color of the body is obvious darker than other trout. This type of spawning trout takes place in the period from November to January.

BROODSTOCK

Trout will not spawn naturally in aquaculture systems, hence eggs are artificially spawned from high quality brood fish when fully mature. Broodstock are selected for fast growth and early maturation (usually after 2 years).

FINGERLINGS

Care of fingerling trout is a critical stage in the life of the trout. Inadequate feeding and care of fingerlings can affect the performance of the trout throughout their life cycle. Izvor has two types of fingerlings: rainbow and river trout fingerlings.

The diet of the fish ponds of the company IZVOR is performed by specialized food for fish produced by leading producer of fish feed company Coppens
