Feed Trial Results update

Ocean Harvest Technology Group plc, a leading global producer of animal feed supplements from multispecies seaweed blends, is pleased to announce the results from four recently completed feed trials.  The first three trials were carried out by universities in conjunction with potential customers whilst the swine trial was undertaken directly by a potential customer.

Highlights:

·      A laying hen trial confirmed improvements in both egg production and feed efficiency when birds were fed an OceanFeedTM Poultry supplemented diet.  These performance improvements materially increased income per hen.

·      A catfish trial demonstrated that fish fed with OceanFeedTM Aqua in their diets had higher feed intake and weight gain, leading to a substantial increase in final weight.

·      A trial with juvenile shrimp where OceanFeedTM Aqua improved both weight gain and feed efficiency, thus reducing production costs. OceanFeedTM Aqua also helped reduce mortality in a disease challenge trial run in parallel.

·      A commercial swine trial reported material improvements in feed efficiency in piglets with OceanFeedTM Swine included in their diet.  OceanFeedTM Swine successfully replaced a combination of seven conventional gut health additives. 

These results add to the Company's substantive dataset demonstrating the efficacy of OceanFeedTM in improving animal performance across a range of species, and highlights the important benefits of using OceanFeedTM ingredients in a number of applications.   The substantial and growing breadth of data across multiple species is helpful in driving new customer adoption which remains an important aspect of OHT's revenue growth.  More details on these results are available in the trial report summaries on the company's website, www.oceanharvesttechnology.com.

Mark Williams, CEO, Ocean Harvest Technology, commented:

"We are delighted that these trials have again demonstrated the benefits of Ocean Harvest's OceanFeed™ products. Our proprietary seaweed blends are delivering strong results in animal performance and production economics in a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable manner. OHT will continue to invest in developing our product portfolio, and we are confident that the significant benefits of our products will support future customer growth."
