The Main Functions and Efficacy of Bacillus coagulans in Aquaculture
The following are specific functions of Bacillus coagulans in aquaculture, which show the efficacy that is this probiotic:
1、 Enhance aquaculture productivity and promote growth
Improving feed utilization: Bacillus coagulans can secrete various enzymes (such as proteases and lipases) that help break down complex organic matter, making it easier for aquatic organisms to absorb and utilize nutrients in aquaculture feed, thereby increasing feed conversion efficiency.
Promoting growth rate: By improving the gut microbiota environment and increasing the digestion and absorption rate of nutrients, Bacillus coagulans can promote the growth rate of aquaculture species, shorten the breeding cycle, and improve economic benefits.
2、 Improving water quality and aquaculture environment
Degradation of organic waste: Bacillus coagulans can effectively degrade residual bait, feces, and other organic waste in water bodies, reducing their pollution to water quality and maintaining the cleanliness and health of water bodies.
Regulating nitrogen phosphorus balance: By participating in the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, Bacillus coagulans can help maintain the balance of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in water bodies, prevent eutrophication, and protect the stability of aquatic ecosystems.
Inhibition of harmful algal growth: Bacillus coagulans can also to some extent inhibit the excessive growth of harmful algae such as blue-green algae, reduce the occurrence of "algal blooms" and further improve water quality and aquaculture environment.
3、 Antibacterial and antifungal effects
Inhibition of pathogenic microorganisms: Bacillus coagulans have antibacterial and antifungal properties, and can secrete antibacterial substances (such as coagulants and lactic acid) to inhibit the growth and spread of pathogenic microorganisms, reducing the risk of disease in aquaculture species.
Forming a biological barrier: Its mycelial structure can form a natural biological barrier, preventing pathogenic microorganisms from invading the aquaculture water and providing an additional layer of protection for aquaculture.
4、 Improving the quality and safety of aquatic products
Improving health: By reducing the growth and spread of pathogens, Bacillus coagulans can help improve the overall health of aquatic products, making them more in line with market demand and consumer expectations.
Reducing pollutant residues: Bacillus coagulans can also degrade toxic substances (such as heavy metals) in water bodies, reduce the accumulation of these pollutants in aquatic products, and improve the safety and quality of aquatic products.
