FAQs
1. What is QRILL™?
QRILL™ is the Aker BioMarine name for a range of products derived from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). Antarctic krill is a small crustacean with a high nutritional value. QRILL™ products, QRILL™ Antarctic krill meal and QRILL™ Phospholipid Oil oil and QRILL™ Astaxanthin Oil, are used as ingredients in feeds for aquaculture, livestock farming and in pet food.
QRILL™ Antarctic krill meal has a high amount of phospholipids, omega-3 fatty acids of marine origin, astaxanthin and protein. QRILL™ oil contains higher concentrations of phospholipids, is rich in astaxanthin and in the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. These are all nutrients known to be important for good animal nutrition and health.
2. What are the major benefits with QRILL™?
QRILL™ provides key nutrients for aquaculture, pet food and livestock animals. QRILL™ increases growth, reduces feed conversion ratios and improves feed intake.
3. How is QRILL™ made?
Processing of QRILL™ Antarctic krill meal
Once harvested, krill is further processed immediately on board the vessel to assure a high quality of the product.
Processing of QRILL™ Phospholipid oil
The high-value QRILL™ oil is extracted from the krill meal using an advanced process.
