Fortifying Aquatic Health: Immunity Boosts for Better Yields
Need for Immunity Boosters in Aquaculture from Early Age to Growth Period
Immunity boosters are crucial throughout the lifecycle of aquatic species, starting from early developmental stages through to full growth. Building strong immunity early on is fundamental for aquaculture operations to reduce disease incidence, improve survival rates, and maximize yield.
1. Early-Life Immunity for Disease Prevention:- Vulnerability at Early Stages: Young fish and shrimp are highly susceptible to pathogens as their immune systems are still developing. Stress from hatchery conditions, such as high-density environments, fluctuating water quality, and handling during transport, makes them more prone to infections.
- Boosting Innate Immunity: Adding immunity-boosting supplements like probiotics, yeast extracts, and phytogenics in early diets helps establish a strong foundation, ensuring young fish and shrimp are less susceptible to disease as they grow.
- Growth-Stage Challenges: As fish and shrimp grow, they continue to face challenges such as environmental stressors, feed quality fluctuations, and potential pathogen exposure. Boosting immunity during this period helps reduce stress impacts, improves feed efficiency, and enables stable, healthy growth.
- Promoting Sustainable Growth: Immunity boosters, like vitamins, minerals, and organic acids, contribute to consistent immune function and optimal metabolism, which are key for growth performance.
3. Reducing Antibiotic
Dependency:• Antibiotic Alternatives: Building
robust immunity from an early age reduces the need for antibiotics, supporting
the global move toward sustainable aquaculture by minimizing the risks of
antimicrobial resistance and preserving water quality.
4. Improving Survival Rates and
Yields:
•
Strong immunity from early stages leads to improved survival rates, fewer
outbreaks, and more consistent yields. This is crucial for aquaculture
operations to maintain profitability and meet growing seafood demands
sustainably.
Integrating
immunity boosters at each stage, from early development to the growth period,
supports healthier, more resilient stock that requires fewer interventions and
offers better yields, benefiting farmers and the environment alike.
Immuact
What is Immuact?
Immuact
is a premium feed additive formulated to enhance the immunity, health and
performance of livestock. Combining the potent benefits of Beta glucans with a
proprietary blend of organic acids delivers functional components to support
livestock through everyday stress, transitions and disease challenges.
Benefits of Immuact:
- Boosting the Immune System and reduce disease incidence.
- Improves gut health by preventing colonisation of pathogens in gut.
- Reduced the diarrhea.
- Increases the liveability of birds
- Boosting Animal Performance Improves the body weight and FCR
- Increasing Antibody Titers after Vaccination.
- A valuable tool to the producer as an alternative to antibiotics.
Mode of Action in Animals
1. Immune Modulation: Immuact stimulate the immune system by activating macrophages, neutrophils, and natural killer cells, neutralised inflammatory cytokinin, leading to improved pathogen defence, thereby enhancing the animal's ability to fight infections. Nucleotides support rapid cell division and repair, crucial for the immune system. Propionic and butyric acids act as energy sources for intestinal cells and have anti-inflammatory properties, supporting immune health.
2. Antimicrobial Effect: Beta glucans bind to pathogens, preventing their attachment to the gut lining, altering intestinal microbiota with competitive exclusion, while organic acids can lower gut pH, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the gut, promoting a healthier microbiome.
3. Growth Promoter: Beta glucan promotes beneficial gut microflora and inhibits pathogens, while organic acids like fumaric and formic acid improve feed conversion by enhancing protein digestion and energy utilization. This combination can lead to better growth rates and feed efficiency.
4. Improved Nutrient Absorption: Glucans and mannan in yeast cell walls can bind to mycotoxins, reducing their absorption in the gut. Organic acids help in detoxifying the gut and maintaining a low pH, preventing the growth of toxin-producing moulds and bacteria. Enhances gut health by promoting SCFA, protect intestinal barrier function, improves tight junction, increase villus height crypt depth, leading to better digestion and nutrient uptake. Citric and lactic acids chelate minerals, enhancing their absorption in the gut. Organic acids reduce pH which activates secretion and activation of gastric and pancreatic enzymes leading better gut health, and better performance.
