Factors Influencing the Efficacy of Probiotics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Probiotics in Aquaculture

Abstract

Oral application of live bacteria to aquaculture species offers interesting potential benefits and numerous publications have documented the facts. Many probiotic bacteria do not survive the extreme pressures of feed handling and/or the milling process and the heat of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the host animal. The general public considers that Lactobacillus spp. are the most common group of probiotics. Studies conclude that when probiotics are fed directly to fish or shrimp, measurable and reproducible benefits are produced particularly those connected with improved health and resistance to infectious diseases. However, the concept of a probiotic is one of a feed supplement that acts in the digestive tract by inhibiting potentially harmful organisms, i.e. competitive exclusion. In terms of aquatic species, research does not always support the notion of the probiotics binding to and colonizing the gastrointestinal tract. Indeed, there is a wealth of information suggesting a role as non-specific immunostimulants, stimulating protective immunity by acting on the non-adaptive or innate component of the immune system. These activities and modes of action do not necessarily require the presence of viable cells. This narrative will explore the available information regarding the efficacy of probiotics, various factors influencing their stability in culture, the longevity of viable cells in/on commercial diets; and the effect of dosage, condition of the host, and physico-chemical factors associated with the rearing environment.
