Using yeast derivatives to support aquaculture production

The intensification of aquaculture production has increased the need to control pathogens. Studies show that yeast derivatives can support the natural lines of defence of both freshwater and marine species. At a time of growing concern about the use of antimicrobials in animals used for food, alternative − often preventive − strategies are being sought to promote health and performance in a sustainable way. Aquatic animals have several natural lines of defence against external threats. Thes
