Using Bacillus coagulans in Aquaculture is an Important Part of Addressing Human Food Security (Part 2)
The application of Bacillus coagulans in aquaculture has demonstrated its enormous potential and value, bringing new opportunities and challenges to the aquaculture industry by enhancing productivity, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, improving water quality and environment, and enhancing the quality and safety of aquatic products.
The important role of Bacillus coagulans in aquaculture
1、 Introduction to Bacillus coagulans
Bacillus coagulans is a common probiotic belonging to the Bacillus family, widely present in soil, water and other environments. It has good adaptability and environmental adaptability, can survive and reproduce in various water environments, and can also utilize organic matter and waste substances in water to promote the improvement of water self purification ability.
2、 The role of Bacillus coagulans in aquaculture
1. Improve water quality
Adequate oxygen is an important component of aquaculture. In fish ponds, oxygen is usually only inhaled at the surface of the water, and the lack of oxygen in the bottom layer of the water leads to deterioration of water quality and affects the effectiveness of aquaculture. At this point, it is necessary to activate the coagulation of Bacillus subtilis. They can inhibit the growth of other harmful bacteria, reduce the accumulation of organic matter, and promote the improvement of water self-purification ability.
2. Enhance the disease resistance of aquatic animals
Aquatic animals have relatively low immunity and are susceptible to environmental pollution and viral infections. Bacillus coagulans have certain antioxidant and immune regulatory effects, which can enhance the immunity of aquatic animals and act as a natural antibiotic, reducing the side effects caused by antibiotic use.
3. Improve the taste of aquatic products
Bacillus coagulans can decompose organic matter in water bodies, promote the elimination of fishy odors, make aquatic products more fragrant and delicious, enhance their appetite, and also increase their market value.
3、 Instructions for using Bacillus coagulans
Bacillus coagulans are usually used in the form of live bacterial powder, which can be added to feed or dissolved in water and directly sprayed on the water surface. Generally speaking, the usage amount is 1-2 pounds per acre of water surface, adjusted appropriately according to different water quality conditions.
4、 Summary
Bacillus coagulans has a wide range of applications in aquaculture, including improving water quality, enhancing the disease resistance of aquatic animals, and improving the taste of aquatic products. Moderate use of Bacillus coagulans is beneficial for improving the efficiency of aquaculture and promoting the quality and safety of aquatic products.
