Aquaintech Ecomos - Complex Sugars Aquaculture Prebiotics

Ecomos is a prebiotic composed of natural sugar complexes (a class of carbohydrates) which cannot be metabolized by digestive enzymes. They serve as substrates for the growth of specific beneficial bacteria in the gut and help prevent the establishment of pathogens on the intestinal mucosa. Recent research in aquaculture has shown that the addition of complex sugars to feed has an effective impact in stimulating some immune response both at the cellular and humoral levels.
