TROPICAL Pro Defence Micro

TROPICAL Pro Defence Micro is a food with hi-protein (60%) powder with probiotic for everyday feeding of the fry.

• probiotic added to the food contains viable Bacillus subtilis endospores, which stabilize gut microflora, boosting fish resistance to pathogens and facilitating utilization of nutrients, which in turn accelerates fish’s growth and reduces contamination of water with fish’s feces
• the synergic effect of probiotic, beta-glucan, vitamins and carotenoids significantly enhances the immune system of the fry, increasing its resistance to pathogens
• probiotic increases the survival rate of the fry and its resistance to stress
• high content of protein, including essential amino acids, ensures healthy growth and development of fish
• properly selected vitamins, macronutrients and trace elements prevent avitaminosis, rickets and supports organ and bone development

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.
