Schedule Visits

Visits Visit Date Remarks Status
1st Visit Date 31 Mar, 2022 Gut probiotics usually contain Lactobacillus or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, nitrifying bacteria, Streptococci, Roseobacter, and Bacillus sp. Completed
2nd Visit Date 04 Apr, 2022 The most common probiotics used in aquaculture include lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus-sp., Bacillus-sp., Enterococcus-sp., and yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Completed
3rd Visit Date 07 Apr, 2022 Probiotics function by acting as nutrient sources, providing enzymes for better digestion, modulating the immune system and increasing the immune response against pathogenic bacteria. Completed
4th Visit Date 12 Apr, 2022 In terms of promoting growth, the proliferation of friendly microorganisms increases digestive enzymes, such as proteases, amylases and lipases, in the gut leading to improved digestive processes and nutrient utilisation. Completed
5th Visit Date 18 Apr, 2022 When using probiotics, it is important to note that there are certain brands of commercial probiotics which require the farmers to ferment the product before use in order to activate the bacteria, otherwise they will not work.  Completed
6th Visit Date 22 Apr, 2022 The advantages of probiotics enhance feed value, enzymatic stimulation in the digestive system, and reverse habitat for pathogens, influence anti-mutagenic activity, and improved immune response. Completed
7th Visit Date 27 Apr, 2022 Appropriate use of probiotics Completed
8th Visit Date 29 Apr, 2022 The success of synbiotics in aquaculture remains to be seen. We must bear in mind the high cost of prebiotics, but it may be offset by the reduction in the use of probiotics. In favour of a more sustainable aquaculture industry, it may be viable Completed
9th Visit Date 02 May, 2022 Improve gut microbiota composition, immune response, nutrient digestibility and absorption, animal growth, and meat quality Completed
10th Visit Date 06 May, 2022 Overall, feed probiotics provide farmers with better growth, healthier shrimp and less water pollution. Completed

Good Practices: Probiotics, as 'bio-friendly agents' such as lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus spp., can be introduced into the culture environment to control and compete with pathogenic bacteria as well as to promote the growth of the cultured organisms.
Bad Practices: Importance of probiotics: These bacteria strains work in the shrimp gut by modifying the microbial balance for the benefit of the shrimp.
Suggestions Given:
Gut probiotics usually contain Lactobacillus or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, nitrifying bacteria, Streptococci, Roseobacter, and Bacillus sp.

Good Practices: The concept is simple; feed adequate amounts of microbes to the organism to modify the gut microflora and replace harmful microbes with beneficial ones.
Bad Practices: The effect is multipronged. By populating the gut, these exogenous bacteria compete with pathogens, preventing their adhesion to the intestinal wall, limited access to nutrients and secreting antibacterial substances such as bacteriocinis and organic
Suggestions Given:
In terms of promoting growth, the proliferation of friendly microorganisms increases digestive enzymes, such as proteases, amylases and lipases, in the gut leading to improved digestive processes and nutrient utilisation.

Suggestions Given:
When using probiotics, it is important to note that there are certain brands of commercial probiotics which require the farmers to ferment the product before use in order to activate the bacteria, otherwise they will not work.

Good Practices: Probiotics have been used in aquaculture to increase the growth of cultivated species, in reality it is not known whether these products increase the appetite, or if, by their nature, improve digestibility.
Bad Practices: probiotics may be responsible for four types of side effects in susceptible individuals: systemic infections, deleterious metabolic activities, excessive immune stimulation, and gene transfer. However, no hard evidence has been found.
Suggestions Given:
Appropriate use of probiotics

Good Practices: Probiotics also have the ability to modify the metabolism of microbiota in the shrimp gut to produce short-chain fatty acids for improved digestion.
Bad Practices: This leads to increased appetite, better growth and improved FCRs – which in turn reduces the amount of waste from uneaten feed and therefore improves water quality. 
Suggestions Given:
Overall, feed probiotics provide farmers with better growth, healthier shrimp and less water pollution.
