The essence of the project is to reduce intensive use of antibiotics in aquaculture. The aim of the project is to prepare an application form of feed with the addition of substances of natural origin, which show antibacterial effects against fish pathogens. We incorporate selected probiotic bacteria and essential oils into fish feed using appropriately selected technological procedures. To ensure the therapeutic effect of natural substances, the survival of probiotic bacterial cells in feed, as well as the biological activity of essential oils, and their stability during storage will be monitored within in vitro experiments.
