Differences between DMT and DMPT
Purpose overview
DMPT is the best of a new generation of aquatic attractant, people use the phrase “fifish biting the rock” to describe its enticing effect -even it’s stone coated with this kind of thing, the fifish will bite the stone. The most typical use is fifishing bait, improve the palatability of the bite, make fifish easily to bite. The industrial use of DMPT is as a kind of eco-friendly feed additive to promote aquatic animals to intake feed and growth.
Efficacy
1. DMPT is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing compound, is a new class of attractant out of the fourth generation of aquatic phagostimulant. The attractant effect of DMPT is as much as that of the choline chloride 1.25 times, 2.56 times of glycine betaine, 1.42 times of methyl-methionine, 1.56 times of glutamine. Glutamine is one of the best amino acid attractants, and DMPT is better than Glutamine. The study shows that DMPT is the effect best attractant.
2. DMPT growth promoting effect is 2.5 times without the addition of semi-natural bait attractant.
3. DMPT can improve meat quality, freshwater species has seafood flflavor, so improve the economic value of freshwater species.
4. DMPT is a shelling hormone-like substances, for shell of shrimp and other aquatic animals, it can signifificantly accelerate the shelling speed .
5. DMPT as more economic protein source compared with fifish meal, it provides larger formula space.
Mechanism of action of DMPT
  • 1.Attractant effect
  • 2.High effificient methyl donor, growth promoting
  • 3.Improve the anti-stress ability, anti-osmotic pressure
  • 4.Has the similar role of ecdysone
  • 5. Hepatoprotective function
  • 6. Improve the meat quality
  • 7.Enhance the function of immune organs
