The potential benefits of Quillaja and Yucca Saponin blends as natural in–feed immune modulators in aquaculture farms

The Aquaculture industry is rapidly developing and the growth is characterized by a process of intensification that causes disease due to high stocking densities, presence of multiple stress factors, complete dependability on commercial feeds and sub-optimal environmental conditions. These factors pose a major threat to the sustainability of the aquaculture industry, worldwide.
During the last decade, natural based in-feed compounds and formulations are being developed to prevent and treat fish and shrimp disease. Among these natural compounds, botanical extracts are showing a variety of beneficial immunological and metabolic characteristics.
Join Benny Shapira, R＆D Manager at Phibro Aqua to review the potential benefits of Quillaja and Yucca Saponin blends as natural in-feed immune modulators in both fish and shrimp farms.
