NAT CONTROL™
NatControl™ is a scientifically formulated feed additive based on a micro-pulverized seaweed blend with a standardized labdane diterpenoid of Acanthaceae extract. NatControl™ naturally stimulates cellular immune response (Patent WO2006008115 A1) by shifting the immune response to one mediated by cells (TH1), shown to be efficient in the elimination of intracellular pathogens such as P. salmonis and other viral agents. NatControl™ helps to reduce the use of antibiotics to meet industry goals and standards.

- The Problem
Intracellular pathogens such as Piscirickettsiosis (SRS), Ricketssia-like organisms and viruses, are one of the most severe challenges for the salmon industry in top producer countries like Chile. The bacteria invade the inside of host cells, has mortality rate of about 90%, causing annual economic losses of around US$500–US$700 million, as well as several tons of antibiotics delivered to the environment. In the case of shrimp, WSSV causes severe economic losses with no effective tools to control it.
