Growth and immune food for Koi for feeding throughout the year
Nowadays, probiotics are not only found in yogurts or as dietary supplements for humans – they also have established their well-deserved position in ornamental fish nutrition. Since 2016, the gut flora stabilizer Bacillus velezensis (formerly B. subtilis) has been approved for use in ornamental fish food and is even expressly recommended by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) to improve growth and food utilization.
sera was the first manufacturer to react immediately in 2016 and launched an innovative probiotic Koi food: “Koi All Seasons Probiotic”. As part of the rebranding of the sera trademark, the name has been changed to “Koi Professional Probiotic”.
Koi Professional Probiotic is suitable for feeding Koi throughout the year at water temperatures above 8°C (46°F). Besides the functional ingredients close to nature, such as MOS, beta glucanes, Haematococcus, Spirulina etc., which already are a standard for sera, the co-extruded granules contain the probiotic Bacillus velezensis, which stabilizes the intestinal flora of the fish. This supports their health and improves food utilization. The Koi grow fast and evenly, and water pollution by ichthyotoxic and algae supporting waste products is considerably reduced.
This special food should replace the respective seasonal food at least several times weekly throughout the year (at water temperatures above 8°C / 46°F) as to benefit from these positive effects permanently. Of course, it is also excellently suited as a staple food.
