Benefits of promoting gut health in aquaculture

The reduced use of antibiotic growth promoters in livestock, and the subsequent search for alternatives, has revealed the importance of gut health. Also in aquaculture species, the establishment of a healthy gut microbiota is a key factor for maximising production yield and profitability. Sustainable approaches to modulate the gut microflora in aquaculture include the use of a wide variety of natural compounds capable of modulating the microflora towards a favourable composition such as probiot
