Beneficios de la aplicación de probióticos durante el cultivo de engorde del camarón blanco (<i>litopenaeus vannamei</i>) en Ecuador.

Abstract

The shrimp culture in Ecuador has had a great growth in recent years thanks to the climate that exists in our country, which places it in one of the top 5 production places in the world, however due to many diseases that have emerged throughout this time in the crops, which is believed, is due to the quality of water in the pond due to poor management, causing the balance of microorganisms in the environment to be lost, causing the pathogenic organisms increase without control; therefore, new control and prevention alternatives have been sought in those that do not involve antibiotics since this has caused the pathogens to mutate and therefore create resistance to these antibiotics, instead the use of probiotics helps in the quality of the water of the pond and in the shrimp organism when doing it resistant to diseases since the mode of action of the probiotics is that they attack the microorganisms that are pathogenic and help the organism that is beneficial for the host, this inside the shrimp with the regulation of the permeability of the intestinal epithelium, which helps the gastrointestinal functions, with the help of these probiotics it is helped to make an improved shrimp culture, avoiding the antibiotics, which would help to meet the demand of the product in all the world.
