Mass Production and Cost Analysis of Marine Streptomyces as Probiotics

Abstract

In 2021, the aquaculture market in India reached a volume of 11.40 million tonnes. According to IMARC Group, the market would reach 18.40 million tonnes by 2027, with a CAGR of 8.20% from 2022 to 2027. Disease prevention, infection resistance, increased growth performance, and immunomodulation are among the issues facing aquaculture’s long-term development. Because of their detrimental environmental effect and the formation of carcinogenic microbe strains, chemicals and antibiotics are no longer advised for disease outbreak management. Alternative feed additives, such as microbial supplements, can help aquaculture-related animals enhance their physiology, growth performance, and immune responses. Therefore, marine and soil, animal, and fecal Streptomyces are used as supplementary probiotics in the aquaculture and poultry field.
