MGS

For Enhanced Metabolic Activity and Immunity in Shrimp and Fish

Globally, shrimp aquaculture intensification is hampered by health and nutrition affecting growth performance. To unravel these effects, Zootechnical Feed Additives have been used to improve shrimp performance. These are particularly helpful to enhance moulting frequency, weight gain, stimulate shrimp immunity, and to prevent in recent times the occurrence of bacterial and viral pathogens, help in ameliorating shrimp from diseases such as white faeces syndrome, white spot disease etc.

The use of second-generation Zootechnical - Functional Feed Additive MGS, developed by Neospark, will optimize economic returns while minimizing deleterious effects on the shrimp reared in aquaculture ponds.

Role of MGS in the Gut of Shrimp and Fish

MGS contains Phosphinic acid is an organic phosphorus compound, which influences several assimilation processes in the body and is a readily available source of phosphorus. It takes part in glycogen metabolism, replenishes serum phosphorus levels, supports liver function, stimulates fatigued smooth and cardiac muscle, ADP / ATP energy cycle, bone tissue formation, normalizes the level of cortisol in the blood, stimulates the synthesis of protein, accelerates growth and development of the animal, as well as the reparative properties of organs and tissues. Its physiological rather than its pharmacological action accounts for its very low level of toxicity. MGS stimulates glycogen metabolism and helps restore the energy reserves of moulting deformities and enhance the performance and well-being of shrimp and fish.

Presence of Mannan Oligosaccharide (MOS) in MGS enhances shrimp survival, moulting rate, gut health, growth and FCR. MOS is the most common prebiotic which has been in application for aquaculture. The positive effects of MOS on growth, survival, gut health and bacterial resistant ability has been demonstrated in various fish and crustacean species.

MGS also contains Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin). It is involved in the biosynthesis of creatine (an energy source for muscle) and acetylcholine (neurotransmitter), stimulates fat metabolism and carbonic acids conversion, feed conversion rate and methionine biosynthesis.

Taurine in MGS is a sulfur-containing amino acid. With the systemic exposure, taurine is involved as a metabolic and hepatoprotective, stimulates proliferation and formation of new neurons. Being a sulfoamino acid, taurine contributes to restoration of cell membrane functions and improves metabolic processes in moulting and cell growth. As a component of MGS, Taurine is able to increase the absorption of fats, and plays an important part in the absorption of the fat-soluble substances such as the vitamins.

MGS acts as a bio-surfactant, helping to emulsify the lipids in food. Dihydroxycholanoic Acid salts of MGS as anions are hydrophilic on one side and hydrophobic on the other side.,

Consequently, they tend to aggregate around droplets of lipids (triglycerides and phospholipids) to form micelles, with the hydrophobic sides towards the fat and hydrophilic sides facing outwards. The hydrophilic sides are negatively charged, and this charge prevents fat droplets coated with bile from re-aggregating into larger fat particles. The dispersion of food fat into micelles provides a greatly increased surface area for the action of the enzyme pancreatic lipase, which actually digests the triglycerides, and is able to reach the fatty core through gaps between the bile salts. A triglyceride is broken down into two fatty acids and a monoglyceride which are absorbed by the villi on the intestine walls of shrimp and fish. After being transferred across the intestinal membrane, the fatty acids reform into triglycerides (re-esterified), before being absorbed into the lymphatic system through lacteals. Bile salts available in MGS enable the animal use lipids without getting wasted and ultimately excreted in faeces, undigested.

MGS is recognised as a GRAS combination for improved performance of shrimp in aquaculture ponds. As an important metabolic stimulator, MGS assists in the growth and wellbeing of shrimp in aquaculture ponds.

  • MGS plays an important role in biological systems as a vital component of all cellular and subcellular membranes of aquaculture organisms. Use of MGS spares more organic phosphate along with enhanced immunity, weight gain in shrimp and fish.
  • MGS protect hepatopancreas in shrimp by stimulating blood circulation to hepatopancreas and reduce the symptoms of hepatopancreas cirrhosis.
  • Use of MGS strengthens hepatopancreas against various infectious agents like virus and bacteria, thereby prevents mortalities of shrimp and prawn in aquaculture ponds.
  • MGS prevents the accumulation of pathogenic bacteria in the stomach and intestine.
  • MGS acts as a precursor of skin-shedding hormones in shrimp to pass through various larval phases and for better growth rate.
  • Addition of MGS in fish feeds improves fat utilization, protects the liver, promotes growth and improves feed conversation ratios.

MGS play important role in essential biological processes like osmoregulation, moulting, growth and it acts as a stabilizer of cell membranes and facilitator in the transport of ions such as calcium, magnesium, potassium etc. thereby improved performance and weight gain of shrimp in aquaculture ponds.
