TROPICAL Pro Defence M

TROPICAL Pro Defence M is a slowly sinking granules with probiotic for everyday feeding of adult fish. 

• probiotic added to the food contains viable Bacillus subtilis endospores, which stabilize gut microflora, facilitating utilization of nutrients, which in turn reduces contamination of water with fish’s feces
• the synergic effect of probiotic, beta-glucan, vitamins and carotenoids significantly improves fish’s overall condition and their immune system, hence food is recommended also during diseases, recovery or acclimatization
• probiotic positively influences reproduction, increasing fish’s fertility and the survival rate of the fry and alleviates stress caused by transportation, spawning, intra-species aggression, rivalry etc.
• high content of protein, including essential amino acids, ensures healthy growth and development of fish

PROBIOTIC IN FISH FEEDING

Probiotics are living microorganisms that, if administered in adequate quantities, have a beneficial effect on fish’s health.

WHAT EFFECT DO PROBIOTICS HAVE ON FISH?

• colonize the gastrointestinal tract, adhering to the intestinal epithelium, thus creating a barrier to the colonization of unwanted bacteria
• produce substances (organic acids, bacteriocins, hydrogen peroxide, lysozyme) which inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria
• restrict the access of pathogenic bacteria to nutrients
  
• affect the immune system, stimulating it to produce antibodies and increasing macrophage activity
  

BENEFITS FOR FISH FROM USING FOODS WITH PROBIOTIC

• increased resistance to pathogens
• faster growth of fish and greater fertility
  
• stronger and larger fry
  
• better utilization of food
  
• better survival rate of the fry
  
• increased resistance to stress
  

PRO DEFENCE FOODS CONTAIN THE PROBIOTIC BACTERIA "BACILLUS SUBTILIS" IN THE FORM OF VIABLE ENDOSPORES

Endospores are a type of spore that allow bacteria to survive in extremely adverse environmental conditions. Endospores are resistant to high temperatures of up to 100°C, drought, UV radiation and inappropriate pH of the environment.

Thanks to these properties of Bacillus subtilis endospores, the probiotic added to Pro Defence foods retains its vitality for a long time, and germination of endospores occurs only in the gastrointestinal tract of fish.
