Do Probiotics Work In Aquaculture?

摘要

The management of the gut flora in cultured animals is important in preventing infections from enteric pathogens and guaranteeing effective digestion of nutrients and good growth. Probiotics administered in feeds provide competitive exclusion of pathogenic bacteria, create conditions unfavorable for pathogens and modulate intestinal immune responses. The application of probiotics to ponds can also improve production and pond conditions while minimizing environmental degradation.
