Research & innovation

From a problem on the bund to a registered product

Our development pipeline is short by design: field observation, lab validation, paired-pond trials, registration. No formulation ships until it survives all four.

R&D process

Five stages, every product

01

Problem definition

Field technicians log recurring pond failures — Vibrio load, soft shell, ammonia spikes — into a seasonal problem register.

02

Strain & molecule selection

Candidate strains and actives are screened for stability, compatibility and Indian salinity tolerance.

03

Laboratory validation

CFU potency, enzyme activity, assay and shelf-life studies under accelerated storage conditions.

04

Controlled pond trials

Paired-pond trials on partner farms measuring survival, FCR, ADG and water parameters.

05

Registration & release

CAA registration, label finalisation, batch coding and technician training before commercial launch.

Bio Aqua Life laboratory
Laboratory testing

What we measure before a batch leaves

CFU potency

Plate counts confirming declared colony-forming units per gram or millilitre.

Enzyme activity

Units of cellulase, xylanase, protease and beta-glucanase per batch.

Assay & purity

Active oxygen, EDTA and mineral content verified against label claims.

Stability

Accelerated shelf-life studies validating the 24-month best-before window.

Future innovations

What our lab is working on next

Phage-informed Vibrio management, nursery-stage gut priming formulations, and slow-release mineral pellets tuned for inland low-salinity culture.
