N-Rich Protocols

Three Proven Enrichment protocols


Enrichment with rotifers grown using RotiGrow Plus

1. “Standard 8-hour enrichment”:

  • Feed N-Rich Standard continuously with a peristaltic pump, or every hour for 6-8 hours.
  • Feed rate of 13 ml per hour per 100g wet weight of rotifers (85 million rotifers at 0.18ng dry weight per rotifer).

2. “Quick (1-2 hour) enrichment” with optional continuing maintenance feeding:

  • Feed N-Rich Plus at a rate of 18.5 ml per hour per 100g wet weight of rotifers. Feed for 1-2 hours to achieve desired level of enrichment.
  • Continue Feeding N-Rich Standard at a rate of 5.5 ml per hour per 100g wet weight of rotifers to maintain rotifer health and enrichment for 8 hours or more.

3. “Quick (2-3 hour) enrichment” with optional continuing maintenance feeding:

  • Feed N-Rich Nanno at a rate of 18.5 ml per hour per 100g wet weight of rotifers. Feed for 2-3 hours to achieve desired level of enrichment.
  • Continue Feeding N-Rich Standard at a rate of 5.5 ml per hour per 100g wet weight of rotifers to maintain rotifer health and enrichment for 8 hours or more.

Note: It is possible to use N-Rich Plus or N-Rich Nanno for up to 8 hours for extremely high HUFA levels of up to 8% rotifer dry weight. Such enrichment is more stressful, but can be successful with additional monitoring of dissolved oxygen.
