 Medicarp was formulated to stimulate the immune system of Koi and goldfish to fight disease. Medicarp was developed in Japan by researchers associated with Mie Univeristy in response to virus outbreaks which occurred in the Niigata prefecture. Results were excellent and in the years since, Medicarp has become a widely respected food among Japanese breeders, collectors and hobbyists.
Medicarp is a long term, maintenence food.
Famous in the UK for excellent results, Medicarp is now available in the USA as a very competitive option to the more expensive and lesser formulated import feeds.
Medicarp contains Lactoferrin which can prevent infections in Koi. Torule yeast is also included in Medicarp to keep your koi strong and healthy.
Medicarp is fortified with a natural phytoplankton called Hemathococcus, (not zooplankton) which results in a natural, but superbly enhanced color in your Koi.
Medicarp floats, and it maintains its shape in water and will not cloud your pond.
Medicarp is famous for it's palatability. Very few foods will cause your fish to so-aggressively swarm the pond surface in search of it!
