The second article of our probiotics focus discusses the effect of Sangrovit® on the performances of tra catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) cultured in earthen ponds.
Dr Nguyen Nhu Tri and Prof Le Thanh Hung, Nong Lam University,Vietnam are our guides
Tra catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) is a dominant cultured species in Vietnam in terms of production. Its aquaculture production in 2011 was approximate 1.2 million metric tons. The main culture system for tra catfish is intensive model in earthen ponds with very high density and yield. In this model, feed cost comprises the main part of production cost.
This item is being increased recently, leading to a reduction of profit for farmers. In order to improve the profit of tra catfish farming, feed cost should be reduced. One of the measures to reduce feed cost is through feed additives which improve nutrient absorption and utilization.
Sangrovit® is an all-natural feed additive that has been utilized in many animal species. The main active ingredients of Sangrovit® include bitter constituents, which help to enhance the absorption of feed and promote digestion. The special active substances included in Sangrovit®, belonging to the group of Benzophenanthridine and Protopine Alkaloids, have the additional effects of improving hormonal and chemostatic regulating mechanisms in feed uptake, nutrient absorption and availability. Therefore, it is feasible to utilize its characteristics in tra catfish intensive culture system in Vietnam.
