Microbe-Lift Legacy Koi Foods
The concept of probiotics—direct-fed microbials (DFM)—began in the early 1950’s
when researchers observed a positive growth response in animals fed with
antibiotics. This led researchers to theorize that intestinal microflora may
play a role in health and vitality. Continued research has determined that a
delicate balance exists in the intestinal tract between beneficial and
potentially harmful bacteria. The balance of these two bacterial groups in the
fish’s intestines is an important factor which can be upset by a stresses, such
as shipping; changes in diet, water quality, water temperature and/or
environment; additions of new aquatic life; etc. If the beneficial intestinal
bacteria decrease and the potentially harmful bacteria increase, it is possible
to compromise fish health and performance. Additionally, koi and goldfish have
no stomachs and use their intestinal tract for digestion, so it is important
that enzyme producers survive and germinate there. Because of their efficient
enzyme production and other metabolite-producing capabilities for intestinal
tract conditions, Ecological Laboratories, Inc. has specifically selected two
strains of Bacillus (B. subtilis and B. licheniformis) for inclusion in all of
its fish foods. We call them
They also show the following characteristics:
• Form spores to survive extrusion conditions
• Naturally occurring nonpathogenic microorganisms
• Utilize large numbers of carbohydrates for growth
• Produce and secrete a variety of relevant enzymes, e.g. protease, lipase and
amylase which break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats into smaller, more
easily digested nutrients used for growth, health and vitality!

The
MICROBE-LIFT®/LEGACYTM
7-Day Nutritional Feeding
System Due to their individual size, sex, environment and genetic make-up, each koi has its own individual nutritional requirements. In general, Koi are ravenous feeders and will consume a lot of food in short periods. So while it is important to feed them at least twice a day—morning and evening—smaller and more frequent feedings are the preferred method. Water temperature is the most important factor in determining what kind of food to feed your fish because the metabolic rate (rate at which energy derived from food is utilized) is influenced by the pond water temperature. Choose one of MICROBE-LIFT/LEGACY’s three primary foods and feed it to your koi and pond fish three days per week while alternating with either of MICROBE-LIFT/LEGACY’s two supplemental foods—LEGACY FRUITS AND GREENSTM and LEGACY IMMUNOSTIMULANTTM— four days per week. |
