What is RG-92?
To present the most honest and complete picture possible of the product RG-92, KiGen have gathered as much information as possible and outlined it below.
RG-92 in the context of the koi hobby.
RG-92 is described by the manufacturer (SARABiO 温泉微生物研究所 in Beppu) as a natural extract derived from a unique microalgae (green algae) that lives in hot springs. It is therefore not a “classic” chemical additive, but a hot-spring algae extract, which is also positioned as a feed ingredient in livestock farming and aquaculture. SARABiO further states (on its own website) that RG-92 was registered in Japan in 2021 as a feed ingredient (飼料).
Application in aquaculture.
What is it intended to do? SARABiO reports that trials have been conducted in aquatic animals/aquaculture, in which the following effects were observed:
KiGen’s choice In close consultation with the producer of RG-92, KiGen has deliberately chosen to mix RG-92 directly into the feed. Thanks to its excellent heat resistance, the algae from which RG-92 is derived originate from hot springs, this ingredient is particularly well suited for application during the extrusion process. The result of this choice is clear and consistent: RG-92 is present as a fully integrated ingredient in every individual feed pellet. This ensures uniform intake and maximum effectiveness with every feeding.
