In a comprehensive study

Saki Hikari growth was measured in performance against Hikari Wheat Germ.

To put you in the full picture, the protein content of Hikari Wheat Germ is 32%. Saki Hikari is 40% protein content. In other words Saki Hikari contains about 25% more protein than Hikari Wheat Germ (which is normally fed during winter months owing to its superior digestibility).

So we're not talking about massive differences in protein content here folks.

Except

The results took everyone by surprise, including Hikari. Over a three month period using Tosai (less than one month old) Koi and feeding 3% of body weight per day at 25 deg C the fish fed Saki Hikari Growth diet averaged a length of 17.1cm with a body mass of 89.9 grams.

The Koi fed Hikari Wheat Germ over the same period with the same conditions only managed an average length of 13.9 cm and 48.2g.

In other words the Saki Hikari Growth added around 86% MORE body weight to the fish...

It may not sound like much but in Koi growth terms, that's nothing short of staggering! It's colossal.

It proves the point that using the protein content as a guide for the quality of a Koi food is only a starting point and that there is much more to a quality Koi food diet than just a rough analysis of what's inside the food.

Many have tried to copy Hikari but none have duplicated anywhere near the same results.

The bottom line lies in what goes into the food, the R&D budget and the facilities that Hikari have on hand to continually develop and improve their fish foods on a measured and scientific basis. This is the difference: Measured and tangible results!
