SANACORE® GM FOR GUT INTEGRITY AND PROTECTION AGAINST THE INTESTINAL MYXOSPOREAN ENDOPARASITE ENTEROMYXUM LEEI

08/22/2022

Gut health is a fundamental element for the optimal growth and performance of cultured fish, while it is inextricably linked with the health of the entire organism. Temperature shifts, high stocking densities, transport, handling and the increasing inclusion of plant-based ingredients in diets may contribute to the disruption of gut integrity and trigger chronic inflammation which synergistically undermine performance and pave the way for opportunistic pathogens. Enteromyxum leei, an endoparasite which colonizes the intestine, is a case in point which is typically illustrated with anorexia, weight loss, muscle reduction and eventually death.

The present article demonstrates the efficacy of SANACORE® GM, a broad spectrum health-promoting additive, on supporting gut integrity, eliciting anti-inflammatory activity and protecting the fish from the infestation of E. leei.
