Problems
Shrimp producers may lose up to 70% of their harvest due to poor shrimp health and infections that cause premature mortality
~15% premature mortality of salmon – a $4 billion per year loss to producers
Over $10 billion per year in losses by aquaculture producers due to infections that reduce growth and lead to premature mortality
500 million people are affected by severe or recurrent intestinal and urinary tract infections every year, costing $75 billion to treat
Antibiotics are not a sustainable solution – natural and sustainable alternatives are urgently needed
