Fish Gut Probiotics

Probiotics enhance fish gut health by promoting beneficial gut bacteria, improving digestion, reducing pathogenic bacteria, and increasing feed efficiency. They can also reduce water pollution by decreasing waste in aquaculture ponds.

Probiotics colonize the fish gut, out competing harmful bacteria for resources. They produce beneficial compounds that inhibit pathogens and enhance the gut's protective barrier, leading to a balanced gut microbiota.

Ideal dosage is 2 – 4 gram per 1 kg of Feed. However, dosage may vary as per the stocking density of the fish. Mix the required quantity of Biogut Aqua with 1Kg feed. Dry it for 10 min prior to use.

Probiotics can reduce the need for antibiotics by preventing bacterial infections, eliminating harmful pathogens and promoting overall health. They offer a sustainable alternative to reduce the use of antibiotics.

Generally, probiotics are safe. However, overuse or misuse can lead to an imbalanced gut microbiota. It's crucial to choose species probiotics and adhere to recommended dosages to avoid potential issues.

The primary challenges include susceptibility to diseases, primarily caused by bacteria, and inefficient feed conversion ratios (FCRs) which lead to poor growth, high feed wastage, and stressed conditions affecting water quality and fish gut health.

Biogut Aqua enhances the fish immune response, balances the gut micro-biome by promoting beneficial microbes, and improves FCR by enhancing feed digestibility and nutrient absorption, leading to better growth and reduced feed costs.

Biogut Aqua strengthens the fish immune system, increasing disease resistance and overall survival rates. It prepares fish to better combat pathogens and environmental stress.

The use of probiotics is the best way to maintain the gut health of the fish and stay away from diseases like a white gut disease. It helps maintain the microfauna balance in the intestine of shrimps and fish. Certain conditions like external stress, antibiotic treatment, high stocking density, low DO levels, etc., adversely affect the microbes present in the intestinal niche. This, in turn, reduces the beneficial, health-promoting bacteria. You can check out BioGut Aqua, which ameliorates the overall health of shrimps and fish and induces a proper molting cycle in fish and shrimps.

The feed conversion ratio (FCR) is calculated from the number of kilograms of feed used to produce one kilogram of fish. The average FCR for farmed fish is close to 1:1. Choosing the right type of probiotic for fish farming contributes to enhanced FCR to a greater extent.

Aqua probiotics are beneficial bacteria commonly added to aquaculture systems to help support health, performance, and growth. They degrade the organic matter in the fish pond to improve the environment of aquaculture systems, thereby reducing the toxicity levels in the ponds. This helps in the healthy growth of the fish and shrimp.

Various methods can be used to control gut flora in aquaculture in a way that is friendly to the environment. These include using natural compounds such as probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, yeast extracts, and phytobiotics. These compounds are effective at modulating the microflora toward the desired composition.
