Using Probiotics for Shrimp Health, What’s the Impact?
The use of probiotics as an additional supplement in animal feed and aquaculture has been going on since the 1970s. The addition of probiotics is intended to increase the growth and health of animals because probiotics can stimulate the immune system.
In this article, we will discuss more about the impact of using probiotics on shrimp health and their potential to increase the success of aquaculture. Come on, read more!
Impact of Using Probiotics in Shrimp Farming
1. Improves Intestinal Health
Probiotics play an essential role in maintaining and improving the intestinal health of shrimp. The presence of good bacteria from probiotics prevents the growth of harmful pathogenic bacteria because they are competitive and form a barrier, so the risk of disease outbreaks in shrimp is lower.
In addition, probiotics also help digest nutrients such as protein, fat and complex carbohydrates to increase the absorption of nutrients for the growth and development of shrimp.
2. Prevent Disease and Improve the Immune System
Shrimp are susceptible to a variety of diseases that can have a devastating impact on the aquaculture industry. Until now, probiotics have been shown to increase the immune system of shrimp and make them more resistant to disease infections.
Probiotics can also stimulate the production of immune-related molecules, such as antimicrobial peptides, which maintain the front lines against pathogens.
Not only that, probiotics can also increase the activity of immune cells, including phagocytic cells and lymphocytes, to enhance the overall immune response of the shrimp.
3. Improving Water Quality
Maintaining good water quality is essential for shrimp’s health and growth. Poor water quality can cause stress, weaken the immune system, and increase susceptibility to disease infections in shrimp.
Probiotics can also contribute to effectively managing water quality in shrimp culture systems. Its presence can assist in the degradation of organic matter, reduce the accumulation of toxic compounds, and improve water conditions.
In addition, probiotics can also play a role in controlling harmful algae or algae and increasing the stability of the pond ecosystem.
4. Instead of Antibiotics
The use of antibiotics in aquaculture is one thing that is highly avoided because of their harmful impact on the environment. Probiotics are an alternative that can replace antibiotics to maintain a healthy microbial balance in shrimp.
By strengthening beneficial microbial populations, probiotics can suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Several types of probiotic bacteria also produce antibacterial substances that can inhibit growth and even kill pathogenic bacteria.
5. Increases Shrimp Survival and Growth Rates
The use of probiotics in shrimp farming has shown promising results, especially in terms of survival rate and growth performance.
Better gut health and disease resistance contribute to higher survival rates and reduced economic losses associated with shrimp mortality.
Probiotics also help improve the quality of the digestive system and absorption of nutrients in shrimp so that shrimp become healthier and have an impact on increasing aquaculture production.
