ProPond: The Future of Koi Nutrition Is Coming in 2017

Koi food is ten a penny. But before planning our completely new koi food concept the JBL food development department got together with leading koi importers and breeders to hear what they wanted.

Interestingly ALL of them were, for various reasons, dissatisfied with the foods they used. With this information and all the data available from aquacultures the NEO INDEX® was developed. It doesn’t just take the seasons into account but also the age, size and living conditions of the koi. But not even this resulting protein/fat ratio of the food is the only determining factor; the 3:1 protein/fat ration of a spring food, for instance, is identical with that of an autumn food. But the two foods are still fundamentally different:

In spring the fish need to be pepped up after the winter with floating food, whereas in autumn energy and fat reserves need to be built up for the winter. Autumn food also needs to sink so that the animals can rest and are not forced to swim to the surface.

The new 15 million euro production facility is currently in its test phase and in January 2017 the new JBL ProPond food concept with the NEO INDEX® will be available to every koi enthusiast.

You will find initial information about the only physiological-nutritional concept with the NEO INDEX® on our landing page along with a newsletter dedicated to nutrition and ProPond: ProPond® / NEO Index®

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
