Why Knip? The science behind the JUV™ product.
Knip was founded on the belief that increasing access to healthy, tasty seafood hinges on production efficiency, ensuring resources are effectively converted into marketable animals both at the farm level and globally.
JUV™ is a single-cell ingredient for aquafeeds that integrates seamlessly into feed formulas and extrusion processes. Typically included at 2-5%, it enhances the performance of existing feeds on farms.
HIGH PROTEIN CONTENT
A high-quality protein delivery system for additional bioactive compounds.
GOOD FOR GUT HEALTH
Our fermented microbe functions as a prebiotic, promoting a more robust gut microbiome.
NATURAL + SUSTAINABLE
Our precision ingredients come from a naturally occurring microbe, using a simple fermentation process.
in a series of
on-farm trials
JUV™
improves juvenile robustness
It was demonstrated that JUV is suitable for juvenile fish.
In all trials, the performance of the fish was confirmed with high growth and feed efficiency.
Beneficial effects were observed on survival and feeding behavior during adverse events.
Fermented from a naturally occurring microorganism that's found on common plants like the oak tree in your backyard or the lettuce in your salad.
It produces powerful bioactive molecules, including non-pigmenting carotenoids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds, that deliver proven benefits.
post-stressor survival during IHN episode
JUV™
helps reduce disease-related moralities
During a demonstration trial, 2-weeks post transfer, fish showed signs of Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis (IHN), reducing and delaying mortality, showing milder symptoms and maintaining growth and feed conversion ratio.

JUV™
helps maintain feeding period response of fish after stressful event
Following routine transfers of fish from indoor nursery to outdoor raceway, we saw that fish fed JUV maintained a normal, aggressive feeding response while fish fed a control only gradually returned to their normal behavior after a period of missed feeding-days and slow feeding activity.

our process
PROPRIETARY
LEAF MICROBE
After years of searching the wild, we found a leaf bacteria capable of upcycling agricultural byproducts into an evidence based super food for fish.
COMMERCIAL SCALE
FERMENTATION
Knip's microbe is fermented in large bioreactors, then dried to make a feed ingredient that easily blends in with existing feed regiments.
HEALTHIER AND TASTIER
SALMONIDS AND SHRIMPS
A dozen+ feeding trials with renowned research organizations have shown a significant improvement in the survivability of salmonids (and the farmer's margin).
