1. Basic information


Cage (Philippines)




2. Problem


Dead fish and floating feces in cage

CareGut fermentation: 100 L pure water + 200 g CareGut + 5 kg molasses, sealed fermentation for 3 days. 


Use 10-20 ml fermentation juice per kilo gram feed, and one time per day. 



4. Performance

The gut condition improved significantly after several days of treatment, the floating feces decreased which showed the digestion was improved. 


Mortality after application of CareGut


Mortality was controlled 2 days later in cage 9, other cages were under good control. 


CareGut could supplement probiotics which could work in the gut to inhabit the reproduction of germ, improve digestion and absorption, and also improve the resistance to disease.
