Abstract
A delivery vehicle for bioactive agents and live probiotic microbes to aquatic animals protects the bioactive compounds and microbes from digestion and destruction in the animal stomach. It provides for controlled release of bioactive agents and live probiotic microbes to aquatic animals in the form of dry or wet beadlets with essential nutrients and attractants bound with soluble starch and cross-linked alginate. The bioactive agents and live probiotic microbes can be bound with emulsified high-amylose starch and embedded in the beadlets in the form of microparticles.
