Aquaintech Aquapro - Model F - Direct Fed Microbial - Product Information Sheet

AquaPro F was developed for top dressing onto or incorporation into feed.  AquaPro F contains the same Bacillus species (and a few others) found in our other products in addition to a prebiotic and several enzymes.   The heat from the milling process may kill some of the spores, although they are quite resistant to heat.   One kg of AquaPro F contains no less than 4 trillion (1012) Bacillus spores. These do not germinate when they are milled into the feed.   In shrimp, where the gut is short and the time from ingestion to defecation is measured in minutes, the spores pass through the gut untouched and are deposited into the sediment in the feces.   This is where they germinate, directly in the material that they need to degrade.   For fish species, where the retention time is longer than 12 hours or so, the spores will germinate in the gut where the vegetative cells can act before being passed out in the feces.
