Hello Hoang,
LIptosa is a Spanish manufacturer of additives phytobiotics and Liptoaqua is the aqua department. Our additives are natural growth promotors and immunostimulants working on gut health through prebiotics. We manufacture tailor made additives for each species and pathology. We have phytobiotics for fish and shrimp regarding the different pathologies: bacteria (gram + and -), intracellular parasites (gregarines) and ectoparasites( gill and skin such as monogenea, gyrodactilus, trichodinas...), etc.

Dear Subashni Bhoopathy,
I Think Dr. Niti used fish oil to bind the feed with our phytobiotic.
About the FCR, these prebiotics are immunostimulants helping the animal grow better and more efficiently, the better health has the shrimp the better will eat, therefore nutrient absorption is more effective and so the animal grows faster, improving zootechnical parameters as FCR, ABW, SV.

Dera Dr. Christopher Hettiarachchi. Thanks for your comments.
Regarding your questions
Liptofry has a strong bacteriostatic power so is useful to reduce v. Parahemliticus concentration during clinical episodes.
Doses must be applied according to rate feeding.
Recommended doses 3-5 Kg/Mt feed .; other positives effects of Liptofry such as better growth appears in this range of use.
Regards.
Dear Subashni,
The MIC done at Kasetsart University showed a concentration of 10mg/ml at 10*6 CFU for V.parahaemolyticus white feces and EMS strains. Feed intake % was the same for the 3 batches. With phytobiotics not always the best dose is the higher. Plants can have a strong flavour and sometimes animals just reduce the intake because of that, that is why lower doses sometimes shows better results.
Despite we have not done toxicity analyses to this specific phytobiotic, from our experience we know we are far from the maximum level of toxicity. Of course, you can use doses below 3kg, as said, that depends on % feed intake, as well as on results you want to achieve, maybe you just want to use it as a growth promoter or as bactericidal or intermittently, etc. But our recommendation is 3-5kg/Mt at first instance.
