haven't heard of the stuff, where is it made?

Premix- Something that is mixed or blended from two or more ingredients (could be anything usually dry) before being mixed further.
I like their slogan : "Your wallet will remain heavy and your fish healthier"

assuming it wasn't produced by a known supplier, would it matter?

Me personally, I stick to what works best. Hikari and Ogata is the only wheatgrem I use year round. For other suppliments I use Hi-Silk and Sweet Potato pellets...These are the brands that have proven themselves to my koi and gained my confidence to use.

Would it matter where it was made? To me yes...Japanese koi food has worked well for me and produced results at the show level...

Many feed producers have "proprietary ingredients" that they give their own trade name to. Premix is likely something like that, but I'm just speculating.
As far as the copper goes, trace minerals like copper, selenium, etc... are naturally occuring and vital for most animals cellular health anyway.

I have a bag of the wheat germ but have not used it yet. Its imported from Israel.

Knowing where the food came from and where it was Milled and the sources. Sure it would matter. If you got an investment in KOI then yes I would be striving to giving them the best. Its kinda the same for any food. That is why some make own food. Knowing the source gives you a heads up of the quality that goes into food..
We take this chance even if eating out at a restaurant

Hi there

Did you get to use the Noya and what did you find?
Also, do you know who manufactures it? and do you have their details - I would like to contact them to try it.

Haven't really seen of anyone carrying it around here in California for anyone to try. My only concern is the fishoil in the food mix.
