Saki-Hikari Growth Diet
Growth You Have To See To Believe!
Saki-Hikari, our professional koi diet, has been developed as a result of decades of first hand breeding experience and considerable insight from a number of Japan’s top professional breeders. Saki-Hikari is the diet used by the All Japan Koi Show Grand Champion winners in back-to-back shows since 2003. If you want the very best for your koi, look no further than the leader in koi nutrition worldwide, Hikari!
A KOI DIET REVOLUTION
Developed to reduce or eliminate many of the problems associated with keeping and breeding koi, Saki-Hikari is the world’s most advanced koi diet available today. A result of more than 130 years of breeding experience, many years of research and development through extensive cooperation with leading Japanese Nishikigoi breeders, Saki-Hikari is now available to hobbyists worldwide!
THE SAKI-HIKARI SECRET
Each of the Saki-Hikari diets contain a probiotic, beneficial living microorganism referred to in Japan as Hikari-Germ. This strain of Bacillus bacteria, which when eaten, proliferates itself in the koi’s intestine and brings about many benefits. The result is extraordinary enzymatic activity creating improved assimilation of the available nutrition which translates to more rapid growth and reduced waste related water quality issues. While the use of this type of baceria is not new (in human foods similar bacteria is used in yogurt) the benefits to aquatic livestock is now being fully recognized as a result of the introduction of Saki-Hikari.
The Saki-Hikari Process
Stage 1 – When a Saki-Hikari diet is eaten the beneficial bacteria become active and germinate in the intestine of the fish.
The beneficial living microorganisms in Saki-Hikari have four unique transitory stages.
Stage 2 - The beneficial bacteria multiplies and increases the level of extremely efficient digestive enzymes. This enzyme activity significantly improves the koi’s ability to utilize the available nutrition and significantly improves assimilation.
Stage 3 – The beneficial bacteria becomes the priority bacteria in the digestive tract of the fish robbing nutrition that bad bacteria need to survive. This action reduces stress and improves the fish’s immunity to diseases. without hyper-activating their immune system which can cause long term damage.
Stage 4 – As the reduced level of waste is excreted the activity of the beneficial bacteria continues causing further decomposition. As the waste becomes powder-like, it makes it more readily decomposed by your pond’s biological and mechanical filtration. The significantly reduced sludge levels improve overall water quality.
It’s the complete manufacturing process and the proprietary technology that helps makes Saki-Hikari perform like no other, not any one ingredient!
*Note: The benefits of Saki-Hikari are only valid with continued, uninterrupted feeding.
