Aditivos probióticos en dietas balanceadas y su impacto en las enfermedades del camarón de cultivo <i>litopenaeus vannamei</i>

Abstract

This literature review covers the topic of probiotic additives in balanced diets and their impact on diseases of farmed shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, because of their antibacterial and antiviral properties, these probiotics can be used to prevent diseases that occur in the different stages of shrimp, in the same way the concepts, mechanisms of action, the different methods of administration in feed and the effects on crops will be explained. The application of probiotics offers enormous benefits to crops, improves yield and profitability of the producer through growth, survival, assimilation of essential nutrients, improving digestibility and improving the feed conversion rate. It is used in feeds to colonize the digestive system and benefits the cultured organisms through the mechanisms and functions described below. The use of probiotics can be done in two ways, one of them is to order it from the feed mill and the other way is direct application in the feed in aquaculture fields, here it can be integrated with substances such as lipids, carbohydrates and binders to be added to the feed. The use of natural probiotic strains has the potential to be used in aquaculture due to their ability to adapt to their natural environment, allowing more efficient colonization and growth. The mode of action of probiotics is through competitive elimination, competition for nutrients, space, attachment and production of inhibitors of pathogenic microorganisms.
