Aquaculture Yucca Supplement

TThe aquaculture sector in India has shown continuous growth and has contributed significantly to global aquaculture production.Brackish water shrimp farming sector in India has witnessed significant transformation over the last three decades. Despite phenomenal growth of aquaculture sector both in fish and shrimp production during last few years, the progress of aquaculture has caused some unwarranted activities including emergence and spread of diseases in aquaculture adversely affecting growth of the sector. To protect cultured fish and shrimp, farmers are in practice of using a wide range of aqua–medicines, drugs and chemicals in aquaculture to control production loss. Besides aquaculture drugs and chemicals are also used in pond construction, soil and water management, enhancement of natural aquatic productivity, feed formulation, manipulation of reproduction, growth promotion and processing and value addition of the final product. serious concern has been raisedon irresponsible use of drugs and antibiotics, which often can lead to development of Antimicrobial Resistance.

Even though use of antibiotics in aquaculture practice is unwanted and harmful, these are being used for therapeutic and prophylactic and growth promoting purposes. Also, some manufactures are incorporating certain antibiotics in shrimp feed as a preservative. Even though antibiotics have no therapeutic value against viral diseases, still many farmers are using such antibiotic formulations in their farms against viral diseases. Besides infectious pathogens, non-infectious parameters like water quality plays a very important role in both fish and shrimp culture.deterioration of water quality due to high stocking density, high organic load mostly due to accumulation of unused feed, less water exchange was the predisposing factor, making cultured aquatic species prone microbial pathogens and parasitic infestations.

For this there is need of sustainable feed additive that helps in managing these situations very effectively without compromising with environment and health. Thus, the extracts of Yucca come into light. The yucca plant extracts help in managing all the problems that are related to the pond and also helps in increasing the health. With this there seems an effective result in the pond where the level of ammonia gets reduced which decreases the foul odor in the pond. By this the stress in the body is also managed.

There we should use “Yucca Nitrobactor” an effective and result oriented aquaculture feed additive that consist of yucca extracts with other vital elements like Bacillus Subtills, Lacto Bacillus sporogeneses, Lacto bacillus casei which provide many health benefits to the body. Some of the main important benefit of this extracts/feed additive are mentioned below.
